Explanation:
Shigella is a type of bacteria that causes an infectious disease called shigellosis. In order to survive and thrive, Shigella requires a host organism to infect. Once inside the host's body, Shigella bacteria can multiply and cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Shigella is typically transmitted through contaminated food or water. To prevent the spread of Shigella, it is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and avoiding consuming contaminated food or water.
