*Not significant cause of infection in domestic animals
* Causes [[Intestines - disease due to pathogens#Dysentery in Humans and Primates|dysentery in humans and primates]].
*Causes dysentery in humans and primates
*Do not cause systemic disease
*Enteroinvasive, invading the intestinal mucosa and causing necrosis
*Closely related to ''E. coli''
*Do not cause systemic disease - they do not invade beyond the lamina propria to the bloodstream
*A large plasmid permits survival in cells and is responsible for invasivenss
*Closely related to [[Escherichia coli|''E. coli'']] - some strains produce Shiga toxin which is related to vero cytotoxin of ''E. coli''
* Cause of dysentery in humans and primates.
===Dysentery in Humans and Primates===
* [[Shigella|''Shigella'']] is are enteroinvasive,
** Penetrate the intestinal mucosa.
** Cause necrosis in patches of mucosa.
* [[Shigella|''Shigella'']] do not invade beyond the lamina propria to the bloodstream.
* Invasive potential is carried by a large plasmid.
** Relates to the ability to survive inside the host cells.
* Some strains produce Shiga toxin.
** Related to vero cytotoxin of some pathogenic strains of [[Escherichia coli|''E.coli'']].
