Abstract

ABSTRACT Shigella is a genus of Gram-negative enteropathogens that have long been, and continue to be, an important public health concern worldwide. Over the past several decades, Shigella spp. have also served as model pathogens in the study of bacterial pathogenesis, and Shigella flexneri has become one of the best-studied pathogens on a molecular, cellular, and tissue level. In the arms race between Shigella and the host immune system, Shigella has developed highly sophisticated mechanisms to subvert host cell processes in order to promote infection, escape immune detection, and prevent bacterial clearance. Here, we give an overview of Shigella pathogenesis while highlighting innovative techniques and methods whose application has significantly advanced our understanding of Shigella pathogenesis in recent years.
