Shigella is a bacteria which causes diarrhea which is usually bloody,abdominal pain and also fever.It is spread by the faecal-oral route.Which means it is spread by the faeces which somehow gets into the food we eat,causing the symptoms.There are a few types-s.sonnei,s.flexneri and the one you mentioned,s.dysenteriae.It is sometimes seen as an epidemic,especially in schools,by eating contaminated food.I hope this information is good enough for you.
