Shigella can spread rapidly, often within a matter of days, particularly in crowded environments such as schools or daycare centers. The bacteria are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, primarily through contaminated food or water, or direct person-to-person contact. Outbreaks can occur quickly, especially in areas with poor sanitation, as even small amounts of the bacteria can cause infection. Prompt isolation of infected individuals and proper hygiene practices are crucial in controlling its spread.
