Of six candidate strains of Shigella prepared in Brain Heart Infusion broth as freeze-dried vaccine, low survival rates were obtained with two of the most promising strains. Survival rates with these two strains were increased to acceptable levels when the organisms were suspended in a medium consisting of 8.2% sucrose, 0.01 M phosphate, 0.07% monosodium glutamate, and 2.5% human serum albumin. Alteration of the freezing temperature did not improve the recovery rates significantly.

Article Synopsis
- The research investigates the potential of using fennel by-products from Southern Italy by analyzing their chemical properties and health benefits.
- The study identifies useful compounds in the extracts, like flavonoids and essential amino acids, and highlights trans-anethole and limonene as key components in essential oils.
- Results show that while the hydroalcoholic extracts have moderate antioxidant activity, the essential oils exhibit antimicrobial properties against several common bacteria, suggesting that fennel waste can be a valuable resource.

Diarrheal diseases caused by and enterotoxigenic (ETEC) are significant health burdens, especially in resource-limited regions with high child mortality. In response to the lack of licensed vaccines and rising antibiotic resistance for these pathogens, this study developed a recombinant strain with the novel incorporation of the gene for the heat-labile enterotoxin B (LTB) subunit of ETEC directly into 's genome, enhancing stability and consistent production. This approach combines the immunogenic potential of LTB with the antigen delivery properties of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), aiming to provide cross-protection against both bacterial pathogens in a stable, non-replicating vaccine platform.

We describe 3 cases of extensively drug-resistant Shigella sonnei infections among men who have sex with men in Los Angeles, CA. Using whole-genome sequencing, we determined that they are highly genetically related, exhibit similar antimicrobial resistomes, and appear to be distinct from other circulating strains. These cases highlight the rapid expansion of extensively drug-resistant Shigella in the United States and the urgent need for appropriate detection and management.
