Symptoms typically develop within seven days of eating contaminated food and last for up to a week. An infection caused by Shigella bacteria is known as bacillary dysentery or shigellosis.aw shellfish, particularly oysters, can also be a source of infection. The incubation period typically lasts 24-48 hours and the symptoms usually pass in a couple of days. In young children, the rotavirus is a common cause of infection from contaminated food.

- There are four species of Shigella: S. boydii, S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, and S. sonnei. Figure 1. This photograph depicts the colonial morphology displayed by Shigella boydii bacteria cultivated on a Hektoen enteric agar surface.higellosis is spread by fecal-oral contamination, and primates are the hosts. The Shigella toxin affects the small intestine, causing a transduction of fluid into the intestinal lumen and subsequent diarrhea. The diarrhea causes destruction of the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa.
