Here is the answer from my key:
"Shigella spp. and Campylobacter spp. both are causes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and sometimes vomiting. Blood is present in stools of patients infected with Shigella due to invasion and penetration of the bowel. Young children may also exhibit bloody stools when infected with Campylobacter."
