Is there a cure for Shigella food poisoning?

Shigella food poisoning is caused by bacteria of the biological group (genus) Shigella. Various antibiotic drugs can be used to kill the bacteria and usually cure the illness. The recommended antibiotic may vary depending on the particular bacteria causing the infection and should be determined by a doctor. Some Shigella bacteria have become resistant to certain antibiotic drugs and may be more difficult to treat.
