Shigella boydii is a Gram-negative bacterium 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]

Shigella boydii is the most genetically divergent species of the genus Shigella.[2] There are 19 known serotypes of Shigella boydii.[3][4][5] S. boydii is restricted to the Indian subcontinent.[4]

The species is named after the British bacteriologist John Boyd.[6]

Sequenced genomes
