Abstract excerpt

Shigella infections account for a considerable burden of acute diarrheal diseases worldwide and remain a major cause of childhood mortality in developing countries. Although, all four species of Shigella (S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei) cause bacillary dysentery, historically only S. dysenteriae type 1 has been recognized as carrying the genes for Shiga toxin (stx). Recent epidemiological...
