  1. genus shigella

    Genus Shigella is a group of bacteria that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. These are rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-spore forming, non-motile bacteria that are known to cause bacterial dysentery in humans. Shigella are facultative anaerobes, which means they can survive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. They are generally transmitted through the fecal-oral route, often through contaminated food and water. There are four species in the genus Shigella: S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei.
