Effects of improved water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutrition on early childhood IgG immune repertoire development against Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) [PDF]

mSphere
We studied the effects of a combined water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional supplementation (WSH + N) intervention on Shigella/EIEC IgG immune development among Bangladeshi children enrolled in a cluster-randomized trial.

Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of an Endophytic Fungus, Daldinia sp. Isolated From Avicennia officinalis. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
An endophytic fungus (Daldinia sp.) was isolated from the leaves of Avicennia officinalis collected from mangrove forests of Goa. The ethyl acetate extract of Avicennia officinalis (AO‐EA) of the identified endophyte demonstrated antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Escherichia coli and Shigella sp.

Black holes”, “Genome fluidity”, and Evolution of Bacterial Species [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2022
The formation of the massive deletion of genes called “black holes,” which are detrimental to a pathogenic lifestyle, provides a bacterial evolutionary route that permits a pathogen to augment virulence and host-adaptability.

Rapid emergence of extensively drug-resistant Shigella sonnei in France

Nature Communications, 2023
There have been increasing reports of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella sonnei infections in recent years. In this laboratory surveillance study from France, the authors document the rise of XDR isolates from 2005 to 2021 and perform whole genome

A shared mucosal gut microbiota signature in primary sclerosing cholangitis before and after liver transplantation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
In this study of the gut mucosal microbiota in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), we found consistent microbiota features associated with PSC and recurrent PSC, PSC with inflammatory bowel disease and a persistent gut dysbiosis after liver transplantation Abstract Background and Aims Several characteristic features of the fecal microbiota have been ...
