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.
The color of shigella in the DCA medium is straw or pink.
Shigella attacks all people especially weak children or infants.
Dysentery is the disease name. The pathogen name is Shigella Dysenteriae.

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.
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.
