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.
Dysentery is the disease name. The pathogen name is Shigella Dysenteriae.
A pathogen causes infectious disease. For instance, influenza virus is the pathogen that causes flu.

Hepatitis is caused by blood borne pathogens. The pathogens themselves conveniently share similar names to the type of hepatitis they cause: The pathogen that causes Hepatitus A is known as the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), the pathogen that causes Hepatitus B is known as the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and the pathogen that causes Hepatitus C is known as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
The pathogen Streptococcus causes Strep throats.
The scientific name of the pathogen that causes the flu is Influenza virus. There are different types of influenza viruses, with the main ones being type A, B, and C.
Ebola virus is a pathogen that causes diseases of the circulatory system. This can cause failure of most organs and serious bleeding or hemorrhaging.
Rickettsia rickettsii, which is a type of bacteria carried by ticks.
The type of pathogen that causes amoebic dysentery is known as shingellosis. This is also referred to as bacillary dysentery.
Shigella is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria closely related to Salmonella. Non-motile means that it doesn't move, so no flagella.
It's a virus called coxsackie virus. No joke.
Shigella is a non-motile, non-sporing, non-capsulated bacteria. It causes bacillary dysentery.
