Two water-borne epidemics of bacillary dysentery have been described in a garrison in which the leading causative agent has been shigella boydii, serotype of 14 altered biochemical characteristics isolated for the first time in Yugoslavia. All the isolated strains of this shigella were mannitol negative and they degradated gylocose to acidity and gas already after 24 hours, and arabinose and sorbitol to acidity and gas after 48 hours. The clinical picture of the diseased was characteristic of bacillary dysentery and did not differ from clinical picture of patients in whom other serotypes of shigella were isolated.

Introduction: This study explores the synthesis and characterization of silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) using rhizome extract and evaluates their bioactivities, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer potentials.
Methods: The synthesis of Ag/AgCl-NPs was initially confirmed by a color change and a sharp peak at 463 nm in UV-visible spectroscopy. Further characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Shigellosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children, especially in developing countries. The increased extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) resistance in Shigella poses a challenge for effective treatment. To examine the antibiotic resistance and ESBL profile of Shigella isolates from children with acute diarrhea.

Background: Shigellosis continues to pose a significant public health problem in Africa; however, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding its prevalence, serogroup distribution, and antimicrobial resistance profiles. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the overall prevalence of Shigella, the distribution of species, and the patterns of antimicrobial resistance across Africa.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search strategy was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases from January 31, 2024 to February 10, 2024.
