Bacterial genetics, Bacterial immunology, Bacterial pathogenesis, Bacterial toxicology, Cell biology, Gastrointestinal system, Immunocytochemistry, Immunotoxicology, Molecular genetics, Vaccines Genetic and immunochemical approaches are used to study the pathogenic mechanisms of enteroinvasive Shigella species.
Research programs use bacterial genetics techniques to dissect the molecular basis of pathogenesis.
Basic mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity elicited by natural Shigella infections or by vaccination are also evaluated in animal models and in humans. Applied studies employ genetic engineering techniques for construction of attenuated, living vaccine candidates and for the development of DNA probes or primers for diagnostic use. Nonliving subunit vaccines are also developed and tested in animals and in humans.
