Phage conversion of Shigella flexneri group antigens [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1975 A temperate phage, designated Sf6, has been isolated from Shigella flexneri 3a. Characterization of Sf6 revealed that it possesses the capacity for converting the S. flexneri 3,4 group antigen complex to group factor 6. Serological studies and chemical analysis of lipopolysaccharide from converted strains suggest that group factor 6 is a reflection of ...

Nexus of Whey Proteins, Gut Dysbiosis, and Colonic Health
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Whey proteins possess antimicrobial and prebiotic properties that modulate gut microbiota by promoting beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium while suppressing pathogens. This modulation enhances short‐chain fatty acid production and strengthens intestinal barrier integrity, potentially alleviating dysbiosis‐related conditions such as colitis and ...

Effects of Crinum jagus Water/Ethanol Extract on Shigella flexneri-Induced Diarrhea in Rats
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019 Diarrheal disease, characterized by the release of more than three loose or liquid stools per day, remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children below 5 years of age in developing countries.

T-lymphocyte clones responsive to Shigella flexneri [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989 T lymphocytes from a patient with Shigella flexneri dysentery and postdysenteric reactive arthritis were cloned by limiting dilution with recombinant interleukin-2 and a strain of S. flexneri different from that which had infected her. Five of eight clones produced proliferated in response to the shigellae used to generate the clones.

Exploring microorganism–host interactions: Emerging organoid models and analytical approaches
mLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 17-34, February 2026.Abstract Microorganisms play a vital role in human health through their interactions with the body. Studies of host–microbe mechanisms and interactions are crucial for advancing health management. Recently, the organoid‐based models have provided new platforms in this field.

Bordetella BcrH1 and BcrH2 Are Specific Chaperones for the Pore‐Forming Complex
Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 57-67, February 2026.ABSTRACT Bordetella has a type III secretion system that secretes virulence proteins crucial to the establishment of infection. The genes encoding components of the Bordetella type III secretion system are located in the bsc region on the chromosome. This region includes the bcrH1 and bcrH2 genes, which respectively encode the proteins BcrH1 and BcrH2.

Determination of Distribution of icsA gene and IcsA Protein Bands between Shigella flexneri Isolated from 3 Hospitals in Tehran [PDF]
Cell Journal, 2006 Introduction: Shigella is a facultative intracellular pathogen that uses the host actin cytoskeleton protein for intra- and intercellular spread. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of icsA gene and IcsA expressed protein bands among ...

Virulence and Stress Responses of Shigella flexneri Regulated by PhoP/PhoQ
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The two-component signal transduction system PhoP/PhoQ is an important regulator for stress responses and virulence in most Gram-negative bacteria, but characterization of PhoP/PhoQ in Shigella has not been thoroughly investigated.
