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 …

Bacteria of the genus Shigella, consisting of 4 species and> 50 serotypes, cause shigellosis,
a foodborne disease of significant morbidity, mortality, and economic loss worldwide …

Infection with multiple drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli poses a life threat to
immunocompromised pediatric cancer patients. Our aim is to genotypically characterize the …

The study aim was to examine possible correlates of convulsions in children hospitalized for
acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Data collected in a prospective study of AGE hospitalizations in …

Shiga toxin is an AB5 toxin produced by Shigella species, while related toxins are produced
by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Infection by Shigella can lead to bloody …

We isolated and characterized two novel rV5-like lytic bacteriophages from independently
collected food samples. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that these phages have …
