Pathogenicity and virulence of Shigella sonnei : A highly drug-resistant pathogen of increasing prevalence [PDF]

Virulence, 2023
Shigella spp. are the causative agent of shigellosis (or bacillary dysentery), a diarrhoeal disease characterized for the bacterial invasion of gut epithelial cells.

Genome-wide analysis exploring mechanisms used by Shigella sonnei to survive long-term nutrient starvation [PDF]

mSystems
Shigella is a major cause of severe diarrhea, with Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei accounting for over 90% of infections. Progressive economic growth worldwide correlates with the replacement of S. flexneri by S.

Divergent Evolution and Local Establishment of Multidrug-Resistant <i>Shigella sonnei</i> in China. [PDF]

MedComm (2020)
• Evolutionary history and local establishment of Chinese Shigella sonnei are unclear. • Chinese S. sonnei developed into four clades and ONPG‐negative variants. • The antimicrobial resistance phenotype of Clade I was due to an IncB/O/K/Z plasmid. • Antimicrobial resistance of Clade II was due to IncFII and IncB/O/K/Z plasmids.

Genetic relatedness among isolates of Shigella sonnei carrying class 2 integrons in Tehran, Iran, 2002–2003 [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2007
Background Shigella spp. are major cause of diarrhoeal disease in both developing and developed countries. Shigella sonnei is the serogroup of Shigella most frequently responsible for sporadic and epidemic enteritis in developed countries.

Macrolide-Resistant Shigella sonnei

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Shigella sonnei UCN59, isolated during an outbreak of S. sonnei in January 2007, was resistant to azithromycin (MIC 64 mg/L). The isolate contained a plasmid-borne mph(A) gene encoding a macrolide 2′-phosphotransferase that inactivates macrolides ...

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 ...

Shigella sonnei: virulence and antibiotic resistance [PDF]

Archives of Microbiology, 2020
Shigella sonnei is the emerging pathogen globally, as it is the second common infectious species of shigellosis (bloody diarrhoea) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the leading one in developed world. The multifactorial processes and novel mechanisms have been identified in S. sonnei, that are collectively playing apart a substantial role

THE SPECIFIC ANTIGENS OF VARIANTS OF SHIGELLA SONNEI [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1949
It has been shown that phase variation of Sh. sonnei is accompanied by changes in morphology and antigenic structure. Two mutants of the Phase I organism (IIS and IIR), which were studied, elaborate somatic antigens which are immunologically identical.

Cross-comparison study of three ELISA methodologies to measure Shigella Sonnei O-antigen serum IgG [PDF]

mSphere
Measurement of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) to Shigella lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been proposed as a correlate of protection against shigellosis, the confirmation of which in the target population of infants in low- and middle-income countries will ...

Protein-specific immune response elicited by the Shigella sonnei 1790GAHB GMMA-based candidate vaccine in adults with varying exposure to Shigella [PDF]

mSphere
Shigella is a leading cause of diarrheal morbidity and mortality in young children from low- and middle-income countries. Here, we aimed to verify the ability of the generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA)-based Shigella sonnei candidate vaccine
