Molecular genetic approaches to the pathogenesis of bacillary dysentery

Abstract
Bacillary dysentery is an invasive infectious disease of the human colon. At least three genetic loci on the chromosome and a huge plasmid have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Results obtained from molecular genetic studies, mainly of the genes, virG, virF and kcpA are discussed.
