The thirty strains of Enteric bacilli which are paraagglutinable with antisera of Shigella group were isolated from the feces of dysentric patients from April,1953 to December,1953in the Moriguchi-district near Osaka-City. These strains were found (1) from convalescent patients of acute dysentric symptoms, (2) togetner with dysenteric bacilli and, (3) by themselves without any dysenteric bacilli.
All the isolation were effected from a direct plating on Endo and SS agar, with subseauent inoculation on Kligler and other differential media, in which these strains produced a Shigella-like reaction. The strains are motile giving good slide agglutination with Dysentery bacillus Komagome BIII- and S. Sonnei- (Ohara-) antisera. Clinical symptoms of the patients who discreted only these strains and not with any other Shigella bacilli were all milder than those of genuine Shigella dysenteric cases. Biochemical activities ot tnese strains were not uniform. By means of fermentation of sugar and IMVC system,3 different groups were classified as follows: Further investigation of the nature of these strains is under way.
