Shigella was the leading cause of diarrheal disease during World War One; and more than 100 years later, it continues to cause approximately 200 million cases and 216,000 deaths per year around the globe. Shigella is a leading cause of moderate to severe diarrhea in children less than five years of age in low- and middle-income nations, and significant disease occurs throughout Europe and North America due to sexual transmission, food borne and water borne outbreaks, and high incidence in homeless populations. The lack of a licensed vaccine, coupled with alarming increases in antimicrobial resistance, has led the World Health Organization to declare Shigella a priority pathogen for which research into new therapeutics are urgently needed.

The pathogenic bacteria Shigella avoids detection inside host cells by degrading RNF213, the protein responsible for sensing the presence of intracellular pathogens. Read more in the eLife Insight Article: buff.ly/1mIc6m0

Thrilled to share that our study on how the pcnB gene sustains Shigella virulence is now published in PLOS Pathogens: journals.plos.org/plospathogen... In short: pcnB ➝increased virulence-plasmid replication ➝ elevated T3SS expression ➝ enhanced invasion/spread within the intestinal epithelium.
