- Reposted by The Shigella MeetingThrilled to share that our study on how the pcnB gene sustains Shigella virulence is now published in PLOS Pathogens: journals.plos.org/plospathogen... In short: pcnB ➝increased virulence-plasmid replication ➝ elevated T3SS expression ➝ enhanced invasion/spread within the intestinal epithelium.
