title: Transcriptional response of Caenorhabditis elegans when exposed to S. flexneri
organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
description: In recent years, researchers have begun to use the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a potential animal model to study the pathogenesis of Shigella (due to a number of advantages not offered by the murine pulmonary and guinea pig keratoconjunctivitis models). We consider that this knowledge will be extremely useful to researchers dedicated to the development of this new in vivo model to study bacterial pathogenesis.
