Abstract

A motile organism of the family Enterobacteriaceae bearing a somatic antigen similar to the major antigen of Shigella sonnei, phase I, is described. Biochemically the organism appears to be an anaerogenic paracolon. It was determined that the C27 strain is related to S. sonnei, phase I, rather than phase II on the basis of examinations with phase I and phase II sera.
