Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Shigella flexneri Dissemination
The intracellular pathogen Shigella flexneri is the causative agent of bacillary dysentery in humans. The disease is characterized by bacterial invasion of intestinal cells, dissemination within the colonic epithelium through direct spread from cell to cell, and massive inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Here, we review the mechanisms supporting S. flexneri dissemination. The dissemination ...

متن کاملFluoroquinolone Resistance Mechanisms of Shigella flexneri Isolated in Bangladesh
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance in Shigella species isolated in Bangladesh and to compare with similar strains isolated in China. METHODS A total of 3789 Shigella isolates collected from Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of icddr,b, during 2004-2010 were analyzed for antibiotic susceptibility. Analysis of plasmids, plasmid-mediated quinolone...
متن کاملDissemination and serotype modification potential of pSFxv_2, an O-antigen PEtN modification plasmid in Shigella flexneri.
The O-antigens of all Shigella flexneri serotypes, except serotype 6, share a linear tetrasaccharide repeat composed of one N-acetylglucosamine and three l-rhamnose residues, and differences between the serotypes are due to modification of various monosaccharide residues with glucosyl and/or O-acetyl and/or phosphoethanolamine (PEtN) groups. Plasmid-borne opt (formerly lpt-O) gene encoding a PE...
متن کاملKeratitis due to Shigella flexneri.
Multiresistant Shigella flexneri isolates were cultured from the cornea and stool of a girl. Genetic analysis showed the isolates were identical. Shigella spp. are rare causes of ulcerative keratitis; there have only been 14 published cases since 1943. Although prognosis after local treatment is good, shigellosis is a systemic infection, possibly leading to dehydration.
