Chemical Studies on Shigella sonnei Lipid A [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1974 Shigella sonnei lipid A isolated from lipopolysaccharides of S and R-forms of the bacteria, is composed of β-glucosaminyl-1,6-glucosamine units interlinked probably by pyrophosphate bridges (molar ratio GlcN/P 0.8:1). Glucosamine disaccharide units are O-substituted by fatty acids residues: lauryl-, 3-d-myristoxymyristoyl-, 3-d-hydroxymyristoyl- and ...

A Shigella sonnei Outbreak in Nagasaki
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2000 We have experienced an outbreak of dysentery in Nagasaki. Shigella sonnei were positively cultured from 467 patients out of suspected 821 cases, and 346 patients were admitted. 121 patients were treated with oral antimicrobials in the outpatient clinic. Five patients were diagnosed as secondary infection.
