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.
It is an organism with a capsule, which is a special structure morphology.
The six qualities included in a description of colony morphology are size, shape, margin, elevation, texture, and color. Size refers to the diameter of the colony, shape refers to the overall form of the colony, margin refers to the edges of the colony, elevation refers to the height of the colony, texture refers to the surface characteristics of the colony, and color refers to the pigmentation of the colony.
A 'bunch of grapes,' which refers to Staph's colony morphology.
Without microscope and only from morphology?

to know the amount of bacteria present
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.

Colony morphology refers to the visible characteristics of microbial colonies when grown on solid media, allowing for the identification and differentiation of species. Key features include size, shape, color, texture, and elevation, as well as edge characteristics like smoothness or irregularity. Observing these traits helps microbiologists assess the growth conditions and potential identities of the organisms present. Each species typically exhibits distinct colony morphology, making it a valuable tool in microbiological studies.
Colonial morphology refers to the overall appearance of a colony of microorganisms on the growth medium, such as shape, size, color, and texture. On the other hand, microscopic morphology involves observing the individual cells of microorganisms under a microscope to determine their size, shape, and other characteristics at the cellular level. Colonial morphology gives an idea about how the microorganisms grow and interact with each other on a macroscopic scale, while microscopic morphology provides insights into the cellular structure and organization of individual cells.
