A multicentre study of Shigella diarrhoea in six Asian countries: disease burden, clinical manifestations, and microbiology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: The burden of shigellosis is greatest in resource-poor countries. Although this diarrheal disease has been thought to cause considerable morbidity and mortality in excess of 1,000,000 deaths globally per year, little recent data are available

Characterization of the rfc region of Shigella flexneri [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1994
The O antigen of the Shigella flexneri lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an important virulence determinant and immunogen. We have isolated S. flexneri mutants which produce a semi-rough LPS by using an O-antigen-specific phage, Sf6c. Western immunoblotting was used to show that the LPS produced by the semi-rough mutants contained only one O-antigen repeat ...

Molecular identification of Shigella spp.and Shigella flexneri.

open access: yes, 2023
The study used PCR with specific primers to amplify the ipaH and rfc genes from suspected Shigella flexneri and Shigella spp. samples. The PCR products were analyzed through agarose gel electrophoresis, and a positive control S. flexneri MZS-191 (GenBank

The fimbrial antigens ofShigella flexneri [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1958
1. ‘Pure fimbrial antisera’ were prepared forSh. flexneristrains of O-serotypes 1a, 2b, 3 and 4aand 5, by injecting rabbits with a living fimbriate-phase culture and absorbing the crude immune serum with a non-fimbriate-phase culture of the same strain to remove antibodies for the non-fimbrial (somatic) antigens.

Shigella sonnei O-Antigen Inhibits Internalization, Vacuole Escape, and Inflammasome Activation

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Two Shigella species, Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei, cause approximately 90% of bacterial dysentery worldwide. While S. flexneri is the dominant species in low-income countries, S.
