By Liji Thomas, MD. Dysentery is an infection of the intestines which causes the passage of bloody stools mixed with mucus. It is caused either by bacteria such as Shigella, or by parasites such as Entamoeba.These forms are called bacillary dysentery, or shigellosis, and amoebic dysentery respectively.iagnosis is based on a history of possible contact with the parasite or bacteria, such as travel abroad, confirmed by other tests: 1  Blood tests for Entamoeba or Shigella. 2  Stool tests. 3  Microscopy for the presence of the parasite or bacteria.
Salmonella-Shigella plates. Salmonella-Shigella (SS) plates are used to detect bacterial contamination on raw meat. Salmonella-Shigella agar plates contain lactose, bile salts, ferric citrate, and neutral red.The bile salts select for Gram-negative bacteria.oliform bacteria such as E. coli will ferment the lactose in the media, resulting in bacterial growth with a pink color. (They do not produce any hydrogen sulfide.) Members of the genus Salmonella will not ferment lactose, but do product hydrogen sulfide gas.
