“…Various investigators differ in their opinion regarding the classification of strains tentatively identified as A. shigelloides. Ewing et al (3) consider that these strains represent a species belonging to the genus Aeromonas of the family Pseudomonadaceae; Habs and Schubert (5) suggest that they belong to a newly proposed genus (Plesiomonas) of the same family, whereas Hendrie et al (6) propose that the strains be classified as members of the genus Vibrio belonging to the family Spirillaceae. At this time, therefore, the classification of these strains is still in doubt.…”

In a study of production of the common enterobacterial antigen (CA) by members of the Aeromonas group, ten strains of A. shigelloides , nine strains of A. hydrophila , and nine strains of A. salmonicida were used. Passive hemagglutination and hemolysis tests as well as the hemagglutination-inhibition procedure revealed that all strains of A. shigelloides , in contrast to the strains of the other two species, produce this antigenic determinant. The antigen of A. shigelloides was demonstrated even when the supernatant fluids of agar-grown cultures were used in a dilution of 1:1,000, whereas 10-times concentrated supernatant fluids obtained from the other two species were negative. Supernatant liquids of cultures of A. shigelloides failed to induce a significant CA immune response in rabbits; nonetheless, the animals were primed immunologically and responded with prompt production of CA antibodies in significant titers to a booster injection of a subeffective dose of CA obtained from Salmonella typhimurium . Strains of A. hydrophila and A. salmonicida neither induced CA antibody formation nor primed the animals. It is concluded that of the three species of the Aeromonas group only A. shigelloides , which may produce O antigen cross-reacting with Shigella sonnei and which has been isolated from patients with dysentery or gastroenteritis, produces CA. Production of this antigen, therefore, may help to characterize microorganisms belonging or related to the family Enterobacteriaceae .

“…Several Vibrio strains have also been found to be ECA negative. In contrast, bacteria variously classified as Plesiomonas or Aeromonas or Vibrio shigelloides (46,69,76) are ECA positive. The specific name shigelloides refers to antigenic cross-reactivity with Shigella sonnei, which seems to involve the 0 antigen (46).…”

“…The temperature range for P. shigelloides growth is between 8 and 44°C, while optimal growth occurs in the range of 37-38°C [7,8]. Due to a specific phenotype, the bacterium has been renamed several times: C27 (1947) [9], Pseudomonas shigelloides (1954); Escherichia sonnei (1956); Pseudomonas michigani (1959), Aeromonas shigelloides; Pleisomonas shigelloides (1960); Fergusonia shigelloides (1963); Scatomonas michigani (1964), Vibrio shigelloides (1971) [10,11] and Proteus shigelloides [12]. For a long time, it was classified as a member of the family Vibrionaceae, along with Aeromonas, as they share many phenotypic features.…”

Plesiomonas shigelloides, a Gram-negative bacterium and the causative agent of intestinal diseases and extraintestinal infections in humans and animals, is most frequently found in aquatic environments in tropical or subtropical areas. The present study was designed to establish the prevalence and genetic variability of P. shigelloides in surface waters (lakes, rivers, ponds, inlets and canals) located in a temperate climate zone, namely the Pannonian Plain of the northern part of Serbia and southern part of Hungary. The strains were isolated directly by plating samples on inositol-brilliant green-bile agar with neutral red or phenol red as indicators. Our results indicate that phenol red effectively facilitates differentiation of P. shigelloides from other bacteria. A number of samples were enriched using alkaline peptone water broth, peptone inositolbile broth and tetrathionate broth. The recovery of the isolates was more successful with the first medium. Out of a total of 51 water samples collected from 28 different locations, 22 samples (43.1%) were found positive for P. shigelloides. Among the 37 isolated strains, 34 were from lakes (Satrinci, Ludas, Panonija, Krivaja, Pecs, Kapetanski rit, Pavlovci, Kovacsszenaja, Dobrodol, Vranjas, Borkovac, Hermann Otto, Sot, Selevrenac, Zobnatica, Palic, Orfui, Jarkovci, Conoplja) and 3 were from rivers (Danube, Sava). The strains were identified by phenotypic characteristic or by the VITEK2 system and confirmed by PCR using 23S rRNA species-specific oligos. The strains showed a high genetic variability, displaying a variety of RAPD profiles. Our results reveal for the first time a high prevalence of genetically diverse P. shigelloides populations in surface waters located in the temperate climate of central and southeastern Europe.
