Pili were detected using electron microscopy in clinical isolates of Shigella flexneri which had been continuously subcultivated in liquid media. Morphologically, the pili appeared as thin, flexible, cylindrical structures of up to 2-5 microns in length and about 3-5 nm in diameter. Two strains showed mannose-resistant (MR) hemagglutination to fresh fowl erythrocytes (type 4), and one to tannic acid-treated horse erythrocyte (type 3) pili. These pili are novel and different from the mannose-sensitive (MS) type 1 pili described by Duguid and Gillies.
在弗氏志贺菌临床分离株中使用电子显微镜检测菌毛，这些分离株已在液体培养基中连续传代培养。从形态学上看，菌毛呈现为细长、柔韧的圆柱形结构，长度可达2 - 5微米，直径约为3 - 5纳米。两株菌对新鲜禽红细胞（4型）表现出甘露糖抗性（MR）血凝反应，一株对经单宁酸处理的马红细胞（3型）菌毛表现出MR血凝反应。这些菌毛是新型的，与Duguid和Gillies描述的甘露糖敏感（MS）1型菌毛不同。
