The second book in a four-part series, this text is an in-depth review of state-of-the-art
molecular detection and identification methods for human bacterial pathogens. Written by …

Plesiomonas shigelloides is the only species in its genus and has zoonotic importance due
to the serious implications resulting from the consumption of contaminated seafood. This is …

Plesiomonas shigelloides is a unique Gram-negative polarly flagellated pathogenic
bacterium native to aquatic animals and environments. The genus Plesiomonas consists of …

Decades of development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have yielded a significant
array of associated techniques that make it possible to rapidly detect low numbers of all …

Plesiomonas shigelloides is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium which has been
isolated from humans, animals and the environment. It has been associated with diarrhoeal …

Background Plesiomonas shigelloides is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen
associated with gastrointestinal and extraintestinal diseases in humans. There have been …

The genus Plesiomonas consists of only one species (P. shigelloides) of Gram-negative
bacilli, currently included in the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is a microorganism considered …

In order to clarify the enteropathogenicity of Plesiomonas shigelloides, we investigated a
cytotoxin produced by the P-1 strain isolated from patients suffering from diarrhea. The …

Previously, it has been demonstrated that the invasion of Caco-2 cells by Plesiomonas
shigelloides induces apoptotic cell death. Therefore, the attachment to and colonization of …

One of the major challenges of modern medicine includes the failure of conventional
protocols to characterize the pathogenicity of emerging pathogens. This is particularly …
