description: In recent years, researchers have begun to use the soil-dwelling nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a potential animal model to study the pathogenesis of Shigella. We consider that this knowledge regarding the importance of C. elegans DAF-16, antimicrobial effector proteins, and ROS during a Shigella infection will be extremely useful to researchers dedicated to the development of this new in vivo model to study bacterial pathogenesis.
