Shigella

Shigella

A genus of rod-shaped bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are responsible for the disease shigellosis, (bacillary dysentery). Fish from unpolluted waters do not harbour the bacteria, but can become carriers if caught or harvested from polluted waters, and products after harvesting can become contaminated in unsanitary surroundings.
