Pathogenesis of shigellosis: from molecular and cellular biology of epithelial cell invasion to tissue inflammation and vaccine development.
INTRODUCTION Shigellosis, or bacillary dysentery, is a bloody diarrhea caused by the invasion of the human colonic and rectal mucosa by Shigella, a gramnegative microorganism belonging to the family enterobacteriaceae. In the developing world, children are the major victims with 600,000 deaths every year. The symptoms are characterized by early watery diarrhea rapidly followed by fever, intesti...
متن کاملA Comparison between Culture and Multiplex PCR for Detection and Identification of Shigella Species in Patients with Shigellosis from Isfahan Province in 2014-2015
Acute infectious diarrhea (AID) can cause severe diarrhea which is called shigellosis. Shigella spp. are a group of pathogenic bacteria transmitted through contaminated food [1, 2]. This group of bacteria causes about 165 million cases of diarrhea each year, out of which 163 million occur in developing countries, and 1.5 million in industrialized nations [3]. Shigella species are mainly transmi...
متن کاملShigella vulvovaginitis in a three-year-old child: a case report.
Shigellosis is an infection in which the bacteria are usually localised to the alimentary tract and regional lymph nodes. However, extraintestinal infections do occur and the bacteria have been isolated from blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, conjuctival sac and sputum.' ,2,3,4 We report here a case of vulvovaginitis from which Shigella flexneri was isolated. To our knowledge, this is the first...
متن کاملA Comparison between Culture and Multiplex PCR for Detection and Identification of Shigella Species in Patients with Shigellosis from Isfahan Province in 2014-2015
Introduction: Awareness of the species of Shigella has particular importance in the way of dealing with an outbreak, controlling it, and treating patients. The purpose of this study was to use the Multiplex PCR method and comparison with the culture method to detect Shigella species, as well as analysing the antibiotic resistance pattern in its different species. Methods: Simultaneously, the fe...
متن کاملMolecular characteristics of class 1 and class 2 integrons and their relationships to antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Shigella sonnei and Shigella flexneri.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the gene cassettes and determine the roles of class 1 and class 2 integrons in antibiotic-resistant strains of Shigella sonnei (n=31) and Shigella flexneri (n=33). METHODS Various molecular techniques, including PCR and Southern-blotting analysis, were used to analyse various markers of class 1 and class 2 integrons in these 64 S. sonnei and S. flexneri isolates collecte...
