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

Restriction endonucleases in clinical isolates of Shigella spp [PDF]
Thirteen restriction endonuclease-containing strains were isolated from a collection of 186 clinical isolates of Shigella spp. Among these, eight and five isolates carried isoschizomers of EcoRII and NciI, respectively. The former restriction-modification (R-M) system was homologous to that of EcoRII and was located on plasmids with sizes of 46.6 or 55.

Evaluation of transport methods for isolating Shigella spp [PDF]
Recovery of Shigella spp. from fecal specimens transported in buffered glycerol saline and Cary-Blair media held at frozen, refrigerated, or room temperature was compared with recovery by direct plating of fecal specimens. Buffered glycerol saline was the better transport medium for the recovery of Shigella spp.
