Virulence factors and molecular characteristics of Shigella flexneri isolated from calves with diarrhea

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The natural hosts of Shigella are typically humans and other primates, but it has been shown that the host range of Shigella has expanded to many animals. Although Shigella is becoming a major threat to animals, there is limited information on the genetic background of local strains. The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of virulence factors and the molecular characteristics of S....
