Shigella boydii
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]

S. 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 American bacteriologist Mark Frederick Boyd.[6][7]
Sequenced genomes
- S. boydii strain BS512 (serotype 18; group 1) has one chromosome and five plasmids.
gollark: A few with varying levels of moddedness might, though.
gollark: I don't think one server would work.
gollark: I make all my concrete on a Keansian surplus machine near their parliament building, it's great.
gollark: It would be somewhat easier to attract players if it wasn't, again, artificially stopped.
gollark: Well, yes, but no-advertising-other-servers rules artificially tries to drag it down *further*.
