With a set of 30 O-antisera, O-antigens were identified in 80% of 158 Plesiomonas shigelloides strains. Only strains of one serovar (018) regularly contained capsular antigen that caused their inagglutinability in the live state. Two groups of serovars displayed some O-antigenic relationship: 03 and 029; 08, 011 and 012. Each serovar in either group possessed a specific O-antigen and "group-common" minor antigens, which were designated I, II and III. Serovar 017 possessed O-antigen identical with that of Shigella sonnei phase I; this serovar was the most frequent one. Some serovars seemed to be ubiquitous; this was indicated by their wide geographic distribution and findings in man, domestic and feral animals, and water.
