Abstract

Five Shigella strains isolated from stool cultures of five sporadic imported diarrheal cases in Japan during 1999-2001, did not react to any antisera of the established Shigella serovars.<BR>These strains had the typical biochemical characteristics of Shigella boydii, and were biochemically identical. All strains were positive in a PCR assay and a cultured-cell invasion test for invasiveness; 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. Strain SM00-27 is designated as the test strain for this new S. boydii serovar.
