Genome sequence of Shigella flexneri serotype 5a strain M90T Sm

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jun;194(11):3022. doi: 10.1128/JB.00393-12.

Abstract

Bacteria of the genus Shigella are a major cause of death worldwide (L. von Seidlein et al., PLoS Med. 3:e353, 2006). We sequenced the genome of Shigella flexneri strain M90T Sm (serotype 5a) and compared it to the published genome sequence of S. flexneri strain 8401 (serotype 5b).
