Shigella pathogenesis

Patogénesis de la infección por Shigella:
Las microcélulas (células M) son invadidas por Shigella mediante macropinocitosis y captadas por los macrófagos.
La muerte de los macrófagos provoca la liberación de la bacteria. Las células epiteliales son invadidas por los macrófagos, inferior y lateralmente, mediante endocitosis. La lisis de los endosomas libera las bacterias en el citoplasma.
Los filamentos de actina polimerizados permiten la propagación de célula a célula.
La Shigella se multiplica y propaga la infección en la célula adyacente.
La muerte de las células infectadas desencadena una respuesta inflamatoria aguda (neutrófilos), que provoca una hemorragia y la formación de un absceso.
