The four main species of Shigella are Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei.
How does shigella dysenteriae attack and make people sick each year?
Shigella dysenteriae attacks the human gastrointestinal tract, primarily through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Once inside the intestines, it invades epithelial cells, multiplying and causing cell death, which leads to inflammation and ulceration of the intestinal lining. This results in symptoms such as severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. The bacterium can also produce toxins that exacerbate the illness and can spread easily, contributing to outbreaks, especially in areas with poor sanitation.
