What is the morphology for shigella flexneril?

Shigella flexneri is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. It typically measures about 0.5 to 0.7 micrometers in diameter and 1 to 3 micrometers in length. These bacteria are non-spore-forming and exhibit a single polar flagellum, although many strains are non-motile. Shigella flexneri is known for its ability to cause dysentery in humans.

Is shigella dysentery acid fast positive?

No, Shigella dysentery is not acid-fast positive. Shigella is a genus of bacteria that are Gram-negative and do not retain the stain used in acid-fast bacilli (AFB) staining. Acid-fast positivity is characteristic of mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, not Shigella. Therefore, Shigella dysentery would not be identified as acid-fast in laboratory tests.
