Shigellosis or “Bacillary Dysentery” is the infection associated with the Shigella species. Describe Shigellosis and give at least 5 known symptoms of it.

Shigellosis is an acute bacterial infection of the lining of the small and large intestine,  producing diarrhea (as many as 20 bowel movements a day) with blood, mucus, and pus. Symptoms: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and fever. Sometimes toxemia.

Are single-stranded RNA viruses that have a spherical or filamentous virion with numerous surface projections of glycoprotein and include the causative agents of influenza.

Orthomyxovirus

common pathogen responsible for complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) that sometimes causes bacteremia.

Proteus mirabilis

An example of special media which is used to isolate Bordetella Pertussis.

Bordet-Gengou agar

500

The cells are highly motile and swarm across the surface of the agar plates, forming a very thin film of bacteria. When the cells stop and undergo a cycle of growth and division, the swarming periods are interspersed with periods and the colony has a distinct zonation.
