Interactions between Shigella flexneri and the Autophagy Machinery

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Autophagy, an intracellular degradation process, is increasingly recognized as having important roles in host defense. Interactions between Shigella flexneri and the autophagy machinery were first discovered in 2005.

Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei among children under five in Kenya’s urban informal settlement [PDF]

Gut Pathogens
Background Shigella species are a significant global public health threat with the highest burden of Shigella-associated diarrhoea in children under five years of age, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Given the high burden of shigellosis

Extended spectrum β-lactamase and integron genes among Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei isolated from children with diarrhea in shiraz, Southwest Iran [PDF]

BMC Pediatrics
Shigellosis, a bacterial infection marked by dysentery, is typically a self-limiting disease and can be effectively managed with oral rehydration. However, antibiotics may help reduce the severity and duration of Shigellosis despite rising antimicrobial ...

Characterization of Shigella flexneri serotype 6 strains from geographically diverse low- and middle-income countries [PDF]

mBio
Shigella flexneri serotype 6 (Sf6) is one of the most common serotypes recovered from surveillance studies of moderate to severe diarrhea. Despite the clinical significance of Sf6, this serotype is understudied.

Immunization of Rabbits with a Quadrivalent Shigella Bioconjugate Vaccine Induces Functional Antibodies Reactive with Shigella Isolates from Kenya

mSphere, 2022
Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting children in resource-limited settings. Although improvements in hygiene and access to clean water are helpful, vaccines are considered essential due to

Formate Promotes Shigella Intercellular Spread and Virulence Gene Expression

mBio, 2018
The intracellular human pathogen Shigella flexneri invades the colon epithelium, replicates to high cell density within the host cell, and then spreads to adjacent epithelial cells. When S.
