In the U.S. and in Europe, the majority of dysentery cases are caused by Shigella sonnei, while in developing countries infections caused by Sh. dysenteriae and Sh. boydii are dominant. In 2001 in Poland, 128 cases of dysentery (0.3 cases per 100,000 people) were reported, of which 116 cases were caused by Sh. sonnei (Stypulkowska-Misiurewicz and Gonera, 2003).

In 1964, Anraku (2, S) reported the isolation of an enzyme from Escherichia coli B which hydrolyzed ribonudeoside 2, 3 -cyclic phosphates. Enzyme fractions representing a 900-fold purification also possessed 3 -nucleotidase activity. Similar activities have subsequently been purified from Proteus mirabilis (4, 5), halophilic Vibrio algino-lyticus (6, 7), Bacillus subtilis (8), and various Enterobacteriaceae, specifically, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella heidelberg, Serratia marcescens, Proteus vulgaris (9), and others (10). The enzyme from each organism is strikingly similar, but some differences are apparent. 

A very similar or identical backbone has later been identified in a number of other enterobacterial lipid A s including that of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, Yersinia enterocolitica and Serratia marces-... 

The formation of oximes and hydrazones can be used to modify proteins due to some attractive properties, that is, some stability in aqueous media and compatibility with many functionalities of proteins [134], Their synthesis can be accomplished through the nucleophilic addition-elimination (condensation) of hydrazines and alkoxyamines with aldehydes and ketones, respectively. Typically, it has been used to modify the N-terminus [135-137] of peptides and proteins. For example, oxime formation has been used to modify BSA and diphtheria toxin with Shigella sonnei O-specific oligosaccharides [138],...
