Genome Announc. 2017 Apr 20;5(16):e00176-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00176-17.

Abstract

Shigella is a major foodborne pathogen that infects humans and nonhuman primates and is the major cause of dysentery and reactive arthritis worldwide. This is the initial public release of 16 Shigella genome sequences from four species sequenced as part of the 100K Pathogen Genome Project.
