| ==Diagnosis==
| |
| Since the typical fecal specimen is not sterile, the use of selective plates is mandatory. [[XLD agar]], [[DCA agar]], or [[Hektoen enteric agar]] are inoculated; all give colorless colonies as the organism is not a [[lactose]] fermenter. Inoculation of a [[TSI slant]] shows an alkaline slant and acidic, but with no gas, or {{chem|link=hydrogen sulfide|H|2|S}} production. Following incubation on SIM, the culture appears nonmotile with no {{chem|H|2|S}} production. Addition of [[Indole test|Kovac's reagent]] to the SIM tube following growth typically indicates no [[indole]] formation ([[serotype]]s 2, 7, and 8 produce indole<ref>{{cite book |last1=Germani |first1=Y. |last2=Sansonetti |first2=P.J. |editor1-first=M.

| ''[[Shigella flexneri]]'' will produce acid and gas from glucose, and ''[[Shigella sonnei]]'' is [[mannitol]] and [[ornithine]] positive, and is also a late lactose fermenter (ONPG positive). Some ''Shigella'' species can produce indole.
