Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Shigella and Streptococcus species are capable of invading host cells and producing toxins. While Shigella is primarily associated with causing diarrhea, some Streptococcus species can cause respiratory or skin infections that may result in a rash. However, the presence of a rash is not a defining characteristic of either group of bacteria. There is no evidence that either group of bacteria is typically delivered via flea bites.
