Overview

  • Shigella boydii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Shigella boydii is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Strockbine2005Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (including ulcerative colitis patients - Alkhalil2017). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Is a known human pathogen. It's gut microbiome symbiotic status is unknown. Robust growth can have negative consequences for gut health.
