Bacteriophage typing of Shigella sonnei [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1977 A bacteriophage-typing schema was developed for differentiating strains of Shigella sonnei. Sixty-seven bacteriophages were obtained from other collections, and 36 bacteriophages were isolated from sewage. From these 103 bacteriophages, a provisional set of 12 was chosen by computer analysis as being the most sensitive in differentiating strains of S ...

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.
