Identification of critical residues of the serotype modifying O-acetyltransferase of Shigella flexneri [PDF]
BACKGROUND Thirteen serotypes of Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri) have been recognised, all of which are capable of causing bacillary dysentery or shigellosis. With the emergence of the newer S.
