What is the incubation period for bacillary dysentery?

An incubation period is the amount of time between exposure to a germ and the appearance of symptoms. The incubation period for the bacteria that can lead to bacillary dysentery is usually one to three days. But it can be as long as a week.

People with bacillary dysentery should isolate themselves for seven days to prevent infecting other people.
