Abstract

Five Shigella strains isolated from stool cultures of imported diarrheal cases in Japan, did not react to any antisera of the established Shigella serovars.<BR>These strains had the typical biochemical characteristics of Shigella dysenteriae, and were biochemically identical. All strains were positive in the Sereny test and other tests for invasivness; these indicate that they can cause shigellosis in humans.<BR>The results of antigenic analysis revealed that they did not belong to any of the recognized or provisional serovars, and were serologically indistinguishable.<BR>They had the same drug-resistance pattern (CP·TC·SM·ABPC·ST) and plasmid-profile.<BR>Strain 96-204 is designated as the test strain for this new serovar.
