Overview
Shigellosis Historical Perspective
Shigella organisms are a group of gram-negative pathogens, which were initially recognized as the causal agents of shigellosis (also known as bacillary dysentery) in the 1890s and became an official genus in the 1950s. Each species has their own “niche”, which represents what the species main function or area is. S. dysenteriae serotype 1 causes deadly epidemics mainly in developing countries, S boydii is restricted to the Indian subcontinent, and S. flexneri and S. sonnei are prevalent in developing and developed countries, respectively. S. flexneri is also responsible for the worldwide endemic form of bacillary dysentery.
