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

mBio, 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.

Shigella sonnei genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicate recent global dissemination from Europe [PDF]

, 2012
Shigella are human-adapted Escherichia coli that have gained the ability to invade the human gut mucosa and cause dysentery1,2, spreading efficiently via low-dose fecal-oral transmission3,4. Historically, S.

Shigella sonnei infection of zebrafish reveals that O-antigen mediates neutrophil tolerance and dysentery incidence.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Shigella flexneri is historically regarded as the primary agent of bacillary dysentery, yet the closely-related Shigella sonnei is replacing S. flexneri, especially in developing countries.

The Rising Dominance of Shigella sonnei: An Intercontinental Shift in the Etiology of Bacillary Dysentery. [PDF]

, 2015
Shigellosis is the major global cause of dysentery. Shigella sonnei, which has historically been more commonly isolated in developed countries, is undergoing an unprecedented expansion across industrializing regions in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle

Characterization of an emergent clone of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli circulating in Europe [PDF]

, 2016
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) cause intestinal illness indistinguishable from that caused by Shigella, mainly in developing countries. Recently an upsurge of cases of EIEC infections has been observed in Europe, with two large outbreaks ...

Acid tolerance of Shigella sonnei and Shigella flexneri [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2002
Determination of the behaviour of Shigella sonnei and Sh. flexneri under acid conditions.The growth and survival of Shigella spp. (9 isolates) in acidified Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) (pH 5.0-3.25 with pH intervals of 0.25) was determined after 6, 24 and 30 h incubation at 37 degrees C.

The emergence and fate of horizontally acquired genes in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2008
Bacterial species, and even strains within species, can vary greatly in their gene contents and metabolic capabilities. We examine the evolution of this diversity by assessing the distribution and ancestry of each gene in 13 sequenced isolates of ...
