DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-64057-y
Abstract: Shigellosis is a leading cause of diarrhoeal deaths, with Shigella sonnei increasingly implicated as a dominant agent. S. sonnei is divided into five monophyletic lineages, yet most infections are caused by a few clonal sub-lineages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/mgen.0.001339
Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, Shigella sonnei has surpassed Shigella flexneri as the leading cause of shigellosis, possibly due to species-specific differences in their transcriptomic responses. This study used dual RNA sequencing to analyse the transcriptomic… read more here.
