More than one billion diarrhea episodes occur every year among children younger than 5
years of age in socioeconomically developing countries causing 2 to 2.5 million deaths …

Shigella sonnei is the emerging pathogen globally, as it is the second common infectious
species of shigellosis (bloody diarrhoea) in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and …

Background Diarrhoea is the second leading cause of mortality in children worldwide, but
establishing the cause can be complicated by diverse diagnostic approaches and varying …

ABSTRACT The TaqMan Array Card (TAC) system is a 384-well singleplex real-time PCR
format that has been used to detect multiple infection targets. Here we developed an enteric …

Background The burden of shigellosis is greatest in resource-poor countries. Although this
diarrheal disease has been thought to cause considerable morbidity and mortality in excess …

Water scarcity is becoming one of the largest problems worldwide. Agricultural reuse of
wastewater has been considered a valuable and reliable alternative, alleviating the …

Shigella species are so closely related to Escherichia coli that routine matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) cannot reliably …

The detection of bacterial and parasitic gastrointestinal pathogens through culture and
microscopy is laborious and time-consuming. We evaluated a molecular screening …

Here we report a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for detecting
Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli. The target for this LAMP method is the ipaH …

Aims: To develop a rapid multiplex PCR method for simultaneous detection of five major
foodborne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli …
