Genetic events contributing to the evolution of Shigella spp
Genetic events contributing to the evolution of Shigella spp. from nonpathogenic E. coli ancestors. Genetic events contributing to the evolution of Shigella spp. from nonpathogenic E. coli ancestors. Shigella spp. evolved from nonpathogenic E. coli through the acquisition of a large virulence plasmid and chromosomal pathogenicity islands as well as through the loss of genetic loci, which are not functional intracellularly or impede virulence.
