Disease relevance of Shigella

 

High impact information on Shigella

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Shigella

  • The first tetracycline-resistant bacterium, Shigella dysenteriae, was isolated in 1953 [11].
  • Sulfamethoxazole alone was effective against only 62% of the Shigella isolates tested, but mixture with trimethoprim in a 20:1 ratio yielded a highly active in vitro combination [12].
  • Forty-two adults who had Shigella isolated from stool (26 symptomatic, 16 asymptomatic) received a single oral dose of tetracycline hydrochloride (2.5 g) [13].
  • Interaction of Ipa proteins of Shigella flexneri with alpha5beta1 integrin promotes entry of the bacteria into mammalian cells [14].
  • The serum antitoxin response to the cytotoxin contained in preparations of Shigella dysenteriae 1 (Shiga's bacillus) exotoxin was studied in natural and experimental infections of man [15].
 

Biological context of Shigella

  • This variability in cyclic AMP response to Shigella toxin and the disparity between Shigella and cholera toxins' effects on mucosal cyclic AMP are probably the result of the different kinetics of adenylate cyclase activated by these enterotoxins [16].
  • Deletion mutants in the invasion invasion plasmid antigen B (ipaB) of Shigella flexneri are not cytotoxic [17].
  • Infection by the opportunistic bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of host cell proteins, but the kinases involved and their effects on the regulation of cell signaling pathways during bacterial entry remain largely undefined [18].
  • Evidence is presented that endocytosis is involved in the transport to the cytosol of the cytotoxin from Shigella dysenteriae 1, Shiga toxin, which acts by removal of a single adenine residue in 28-S ribosomal RNA [19].
  • Using transfection experiments, we show the differential recruitment of the two plastin isoforms (T- and L-) into Shigella entry zones [20].
