Open-source genomic analysis of Shiga-toxin–producing E. coli O104:H4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An outbreak caused by Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May and June of 2011, with more than 3000 persons infected. Here, we report a cluster of cases associated with a single family and describe an open-source genomic

Shigella sonnei genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicate recent global dissemination from Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Shigella are human-adapted Escherichia coli that have gained the ability to invade the human gut mucosa and cause dysentery1,2, spreading efficiently via low-dose fecal-oral transmission3,4. Historically, S.

Evolutionary histories and antimicrobial resistance in Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei in Southeast Asia

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Conventional disease surveillance for shigellosis in developing country settings relies on serotyping and low-resolution molecular typing, which fails to contextualise the evolutionary history of the genus.

Selection for Phage Resistance Reduces Virulence of Shigella flexneri

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Shigella flexneri is a facultative intracellular pathogen of humans and a leading cause of bacillary dysentery. With few effective treatments and rising antibiotic resistance in these bacteria, there is increasing interest in alternatives to classical ...

Bacteriophages are the major drivers of Shigella flexneri serotype 1c genome plasticity: a complete genome analysis

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Shigella flexneri is the primary cause of bacillary dysentery in the developing countries. S. flexneri serotype 1c is a novel serotype, which is found to be endemic in many developing countries, but little is known about its genomic ...

Emergence of novel strains of Shigella flexneri associated with sexual transmission in adult men in England, 2019–2020

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
National surveillance of shigellosis in England revealed an increase in sexually transmitted Shigella flexneri in adult males in 2019 that persisted throughout 2020. We observed a resurgence of azithromycin-resistant S.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles and vaccine applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of “self ...

Shigella OspC3 suppresses murine cytosolic LPS sensing

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Shigella flexneri, a cytosol-invasive gram-negative pathogen, deploys an array of type III-secreted effector proteins to evade host cell defenses.

Frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella species isolated in Children Medical Center Hospital, Tehran, Iran, 2001-2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1906
Appropriate antimicrobial treatment of shigellosis depends on identifying its changing resistance pattern over time. We evaluated 15,255 stool culture submitted from July 2001 to June 2006 to the Laboratory of Children Medical Center Hospital.
