Shigella boydii is a Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Shigella. Like other members of the genus, S. boydii is a nonmotile, nonsporeforming, rod-shaped bacterium which can cause dysentery in humans through fecal-oral contamination.[1][page needed]
S. boydii is the most genetically divergent species of the Shigella genus.[2] There are 19 known serotypes of Shigella boydii.[3][4][5] Shigella boydii is restricted to the Indian subcontinent.[4]
The species is named after the American bacteriologist Mark Frederick Boyd.[6][7]
