Question

what bacterial pathogens are likely candicates of shigellosis?

Answer 1

Shigella is a gram negative intercellular bacterial pathogen that initiates infection by invading cells and causing intense inflammation in the colonic and rectal epithelium.

The types of bacteria are Bacillus Carey's, Clostridium botulinum, Campylobacter species, Cronobacter species ETC.

Shihab toxins expressed by the enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli and enteric shigella dysenteriae pathogens are protein synthesis inhibitors, induces apoptosis via the activation of extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in many cell types ( epithelial, endothelial and N cells)

The genus of Shigella is decided into 4 species

ie: Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexineri, Shigella boydia, Shigella Sonneri
