Purification of multifunctional substances active against Shigella sonnei. [PDF]
Shigella is the etiological agent of shigellosis. Antimicrobial peptides and proteins are biologically active substances produced by prokaryotes and eukaryotes that may present antagonistic activity against a wide range of microorganism.

Chemical Studies on Shigella sonnei Lipid A [PDF]
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 ...

Increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in Shigella associated with MSM transmission in Barcelona, 2020-21 : outbreak of XRD Shigella sonnei and dissemination of ESBL-producing Shigella flexneri [PDF]
Several countries have recently reported the detection of ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei associated with transmission among MSM. In a previous study by our group, 2.8% of Shigella spp.

Genome sequence of Shigella sonnei 4303 [PDF]
Shigella spp. are Gram-negative intracellular pathogenic bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and can cause bacterial dysentery, a severe diarrheal disease. The pathophysiological impact of the Gram-negative bacteria is highly related to the composition and structural variability of lipopolysaccharides, the major lipoid components of the

A Cryptic Plasmid from Shigella sonnei [PDF]
pNZ500 is a 1.5 kb cryptic plasmid from a Shigella sonnei isolate. It was introduced into Escherichia coli by cotransformation, where it is maintained at about 30 copies per chromosome equivalent. Hybridization studies show that pNZ500 exhibits a high level of sequence similarity to other 1.5 kb plasmids found in different S. sonnei isolates but shares

A Shigella sonnei Outbreak in Nagasaki
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.

Colicin Typing of Shigella sonnei [PDF]
The colicin typing method for differentiating epidemic strains of Shigella sonnei was evaluated. Forty percent of the strains were untypable, but the method divides 60% of the strains into 15 established colicin types.

One of the strategies that bacteria utilize to combat environmental stress is to synthesize stress-responding proteins. In Escherichia coli, adverse environmental factors, such as starvation, heat, and the presence of acid, oxidants, heavy metals, and antibiotics, trigger the expression of the universal stress protein (USP).
