Development Of DNA-Based Diagnostic Tests For The Detection Of Shigella Dysenteriae, Shigella Flexneri And Shigella Sonnei

Shigellosis or bacillary dysentery caused by Shigella spp. remains as significant health problem worldwide. Current detection and identification methods of the pathogens from stool specimens by culture method is relatively insensitive, generally time consuming (~ 2-5 days) and laborious. In this stu...
