Four bacterial strains are described that possess the biochemical characteristics of Shigella species but do not belong to any of the established Shigella serovars or to any previously described provisional serovar. One strain fermented mannitol, and it is proposed that this be the type strain for a new provisional serovar of Shigella boydii. The remaining strains did not ferment mannitol and belonged to three different serovars. These strains are proposed as type strains for three new provisional serovars of Shigella dysenteriae. All four strains were invasive in a HEp-2 cell tissue culture test, but only one was invasive in the guinea pig eye test and might therefore be expected to cause dysenterylike illness in humans. It is important that the designation of such strains remain provisional until other reference laboratories have had the opportunity to search for additional isolates and the possible pathogenicity of these strains for humans can be further assessed.
本文描述了四种细菌菌株，它们具有志贺氏菌属的生化特征，但不属于任何已确定的志贺氏菌血清型或任何先前描述的临时血清型。其中一株能发酵甘露醇，建议将其作为鲍氏志贺氏菌一个新的临时血清型的模式菌株。其余菌株不能发酵甘露醇，分属于三个不同的血清型。建议将这些菌株作为痢疾志贺氏菌三个新的临时血清型的模式菌株。在HEp-2细胞组织培养试验中，所有四株菌均具有侵袭性，但在豚鼠眼试验中只有一株具有侵袭性，因此可能预期其会在人类中引起类似痢疾的疾病。重要的是，在其他参考实验室有机会寻找更多分离株并能进一步评估这些菌株对人类的可能致病性之前，此类菌株的命名应保持临时状态。
