Objectives: To assess if congo red could make non-serotypeable Shigella strains serotypeable and to employ molecular docking to determine the basis of the same phenomenon.
Methods: We used 42 bacterial strains of non-serotypeable Shigella collected from 2012 to 2019 for this study. Each bacterial strain was freshly inoculated onto congo red agar and incubated at 37° C for 18-24 h.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterial pathogen that becomes lethal to shrimps when acquiring the pVA1-type plasmid carrying the PirAB genes, causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND). This disease causes significant losses across the world, with outbreaks reported in Southeast Asia, Mexico, and South America. Virulence level and mortality differences have been reported in isolates from different locations, and whether this phenomenon is caused by plasmid-related elements or genomic-related elements from the bacteria remains unclear.

ANR (AraC negative regulators) are a novel class of small regulatory proteins commonly found in enteric pathogens. Aar (AggR-activated regulator), the best-characterized member of the ANR family, regulates the master transcriptional regulator of virulence AggR and the global regulator HNS in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) by protein-protein interactions. On the other hand, Rnr (RegA-negative regulator) is an ANR homolog identified in attaching and effacing (AE) pathogens, including Citrobacter rodentium and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), sharing only 25% identity with Aar.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is among the leading causes of bacterial seafood-borne acute gastroenteritis. Like many intracellular pathogens, V. parahaemolyticus invades host cells during infection by deamidating host small Rho GTPases.
