Vaccination against Shigella and ETEC

“Draft genomes of Shigella strains used by the STOPENTERICS consortium” . Pubmed ID 26042182. Despite a significant global burden of disease, there is still no vaccine against shigellosis widely available. One aim of the European Union funded STOPENTERICS consortium is to develop vaccine candidates against Shigella. Given the importance of translational vaccine coverage, here we aimed to characterise the Shigella strains being used by the consortium by whole genome sequencing, and report on the stability of strains cultured in different laboratories or through serial passage. http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/downloads/bacteria/
