The Shigella bacteria cause bacillarydysentery, which remains a significant threat to public health.
2
The intracellular pathogen Shigella flexneri is the causative agent of bacillarydysentery in humans.
3
Here we outline advances provided by a recently developed infant rabbit model of bacillarydysentery.
4
The isolation of S. dysenteriae-1 remains the preferred test for the diagnosis of bacillarydysentery.
5
The bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri causes more than 250 million cases of bacillarydysentery (blood in stool) every year across the world.
6
A major challenge in combating bacillarydysentery is the lack of a small-animal model that recapitulates the symptoms observed in infected individuals, including bloody diarrhea.
7
The bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri causes 270 million cases of bacillarydysentery (blood in stool) worldwide every year, resulting in more than 200,000 deaths.
