TL;DR
In the United States, epidemic shigellosis has been a particularly important problem in confined groups such as the military, institutions for the mentally retarded, and Indian reservations, it is in such confined populations that an effective Shigella vaccine would be most beneficial.

It was extended to show that the virulent parent possesses the ability to infect and multiply within HeLa cells; furthermore, the organisms are able to penetrate epithelial cells of the guinea pig cornea, causing ulcerative lesions.

Using Lowenthal's method, the authors have produced a fatal infection in guinea pigs with an orally administered suspension of S. flexneri 2a and some of the characteristics of this infection are described.

These irradiated dysentery vaccines evoked in mice a very significant degree of immunity; in most cases the immunized animals resisted 100,000 or more LD 50 challenge doses of living organisms.

Observations do indicate that the gallbladder may harbour vibrios in convalescent cholera patients, and the existence of such carriers may well explain recurrence and transmission of cholERA.

The present study shows that purging with magnesium sulfate can be recommended as a routine procedure to determine when convalescent cholera patients should be discharged from hospital and may also be useful in detecting carriers of Vibrio cholerae and for evaluating chemotherapy.

Both hemagglutination systems employed fresh human 0 Rh-negative cells preserved in Alsever's solution, as well as formalin-preserved human erythrocytes to establish Shigella flexneri la and 4b hemagGLutinin titer levels in normal adult human sera.
