Shigella boydii is a Gram-negative bacterium of the genus Shigella. Like other members of the genus, S. boydii is a non motile, nonsporeforming, rod-shaped bacterium which can cause dysentery in humans through fecal-oral contamination. [1][ page needed]
Shigella boydii is the most genetically divergent species of the genus Shigella. [2] There are 19 known serotypes of Shigella boydii. [3] [4] [5] S. boydii is restricted to the Indian subcontinent. [4]
The species is named after the British bacteriologist John Boyd. [6]
Sequenced genomes
- Shigella boydii strain BS512 (serotype 18; group 1) has one chromosome and five plasmids.
