SHIGELLOSIS (BACILLARY DYSENTERY): A REVIEW

There are 4 species of Shigella: S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei (also referred to as group A, B, C, and D, respectively). Several distinct serotypes are recognized within the first 3 species. The accurate estimate of morbidity and mortality is lacking in case of shigellosis. This review is focused upon the epidemiology, disease burden and therapeutic approaches and developments of shigellosis.
