Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989
Shigellosis remains a major public health problem in developing countries. In these nations, the disease affects young children for the most part. The infecting organism causes illness by invading the colonic mucosa. It is closely related to nonpathogenic Escherichia coli, and genetic material can be transferred from one organism to the other, a ...

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1981
It is generally believed that bacteremia rarely occurs with enteric Shigella infections. During a five-year period, 110 children were admitted to the University Hospital of the Arizona Health Sciences Center, Tucson, with Shigella enteritis. Eight (7%) had Shigella bacteremia/septicemia, and four of the eight died.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1988
Shigella strains capable of producing illness possess a 140 megadalton plasmid that determines its property of epithelial cell penetration. In the classic presentation, there is a descending intestinal tract infection beginning with the passage of small numbers of large-volume stools and progressing to the passage of many small-volume stools that ...

Alanine racemase genes (alr) from Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella boydii, Shigella flexneri, and Shigella sonnei were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli JM109. All genes encoded a polypeptide of 359 amino acids, and showed more than 99% sequence identities with each other. In particular, the S. dysenteriae alr was identical with the S.

Shigella dysentery is a major public-health problem in many tropical areas. Despite improvements in water supplies and sanitation, it continues to be a disease of poor rural and urban communities and in populations affected by migration and crowding following disasters. Pathogenesis is due to colonic invasion, endotoxin, and, in Shigella dysenteriae 1,

Clinics in Gastroenterology, 1979
Shigellosis is a complex disease involving two distinct organs and two distinctive clinical presentations of intestinal involvement. It is also associated with a wide variety of extra-intestinal manifestations. Because these may precede the onset of diarrhoea/dysentery, and confuse the diagnosis, it is safe to denote shigellosis as a protean clinical ...

Pathogenicity Islands of Shigella
2002Shigella species are the causative agents of bacillary dysentery. Signs of disease range from mild diarrhea to a severe form of disease including fever, abdominal cramps, and stools containing blood, pus and mucus. Shigella are primarily human pathogens but can produce disease symptoms in other primates (Sansonetti 1992).
