A new serovar of Shigella flexneri has been isolated with increasing frequency in the USSR. It has the antigenic formula IV:7,8. We suggest that it be incorporated into the classification scheme as S. flexneri subserovar 4c. The 212 strains of this proposed subserovar examined to date display biochemical and serological properties typical of the species, are sensitive to the genus-specific bacteriophage, and cause keratoconjunctivitis in the Sereny test.
在苏联，一种新的福氏志贺菌血清型分离频率不断增加。其抗原公式为IV:7,8。我们建议将其纳入分类体系，作为福氏志贺菌4c亚种。迄今检测的该提议亚种的212株菌株表现出该菌典型的生化和血清学特性，对属特异性噬菌体敏感，并在塞雷尼试验中引起角膜结膜炎。
