A study of the molecular epidemiology and genetic basis of virulence mechanisms in Shigella spp

2000-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Shigella spp. are major causes of morbidity and mortality in children world-wide. In England, Shigella sonnei has been an important pathogen in public health, occurring both sporadically and in outbreaks. In the present study, the molecular epidemiology of 223 clinical isolates of Shigella sonnei collected from the northwest of England over a 12 month period was investigated, and the genetic basis of virulence mec...
