E. Coli does not reproduce by binary fission. It reproduces by conjugation, in which genetic material is exchanged between two cells. This process is not common in bacteria but some intestinal bacteria, E. coli for example, split by conjugation.
No, Shigella does not reproduce through conjugation. Shigella primarily reproduces asexually through binary fission, a common method of replication in bacteria. Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer where genetic material is exchanged between bacteria, but it is not a method of reproduction for Shigella itself.
shigella sp or shigella spp = shigella species
Shigella is caused by a type of bacterium. Specifically, it is a genus of bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Shigella is known to cause shigellosis, an infectious disease characterized by diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. There are four main species of Shigella, with Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei being the most common.
Eubacteria is the Kingdom of shigella.
Shigella attacks all people especially weak children or infants.
The color of shigella in the DCA medium is straw or pink.
Dysentery is the disease name. The pathogen name is Shigella Dysenteriae.
Shigella infection spreads through food or water contaminated by human waste.
Four different groups of Shigella can affect humans.
Shigella are identified by a combination of their appearance under the microscope and various chemical tests.
Shigella is not a product of invention but rather a genus of bacteria that was discovered. It was first identified in the early 20th century by Japanese bacteriologist Kiyoshi Shiga, after whom the bacterium Shigella dysenteriae was named. Shigella species are known to cause bacillary dysentery or shigellosis in humans.
Shigella species are generally indole negative, except for Shigella flexneri, which can be indole positive depending on the specific strain. In laboratory identification, indole testing is used to differentiate between various enteric bacteria. Therefore, while most Shigella species do not produce indole, Shigella flexneri may show positive results under certain conditions.
