How Do the Virulence Factors of Shigella Work Together to Cause Disease?

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Shigella is the major cause of bacillary dysentery world-wide. It is divided into four species, named S. flexneri, S. sonnei, S. dysenteriae, and S. boydii, which are distinct genomically and in their ability to cause disease.

Comparative Analysis of Septin Modifiers, Forchlorfenuron and UR214‐9, on Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Lytic Cell Death

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Septins are conserved GTP‐binding proteins that play key roles in cell division, mitochondrial dynamics and immune responses. Despite their importance to human health, pharmacological compounds to modify septins remain limited. Forchlorfenuron (FCF) was the first small molecule identified to modify septins, disrupting their organisation and ...

Horizontal antimicrobial resistance transfer drives epidemics of multiple Shigella species

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Horizontal gene transfer has played a role in developing the global public health crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, the dynamics of AMR transfer through bacterial populations and its direct impact on human disease is poorly elucidated ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Interplay between septins and ubiquitin-mediated xenophagy during Shigella entrapment

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2023
Septins are cytoskeletal proteins implicated in numerous cellular processes including cytokinesis and morphogenesis. In the case of infection by Shigella flexneri, septins assemble into cage-like structures that entrap cytosolic bacteria targeted by ...
