Boyd-Novgorod Dysenteric Bacteria

Boyd-Novgorod dysentery bacteria are a group of bacteria that cause dysentery, which were discovered and described by the English bacteriologist John Scott Boyd (1889-1941) and the Soviet microbiologist Esther Moiseevna Novgorodskaya (1901-1990) in the 1930s.

Boyd and Novgorodskaya independently isolated and described several strains of dysentery bacteria, in particular Shigella dysenteriae, from samples of dysentery patients. Their work made it possible to better study the etiology of dysentery and laid the foundation for the development of methods for the treatment and prevention of this dangerous infectious disease.

Thus, the discovery of Boyd-Novgorod dysentery bacteria was an important milestone in the history of microbiology and the fight against infectious diseases. Their joint contribution to science is rightfully immortalized in the name of these pathogenic microorganisms.

Boyd–Novgorod dysentery bacterium is a bacterial infection that was discovered and described by English bacteriologists James Boyd and Emma Novgorodskaya at the end of the 19th century. This bacterial strain was first discovered in the United States, but was later found in other countries around the world.
