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.

Extended spectrum β-lactamase and integron genes among Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei isolated from children with diarrhea in shiraz, Southwest Iran [PDF]
BMC PediatricsShigellosis, 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 ...

Microevolution and Patterns of Transmission of Shigella sonnei within Cyclic Outbreaks Shigellosis, Israel [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Whole-genome sequencing unveiled host and environment-related insights to Shigella sonnei transmission within cyclic epidemics during 2000–2012 in Israel. The Israeli reservoir contains isolates belonging to S. sonnei lineage III but of different origin,

Shigella sonnei and hemolytic uremic syndrome: A case report and literature review
IDCases, 2017 Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a well-described process that is known to cause severe renal dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. HUS is typically associated with toxins (shiga-like and shigella toxin) found in strains of E.

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