title: Characterization of Aeromonas caviae antigens which cross-react with Shigella boydii 5.
abstract: Live and boiled cells of 16 strains of Aeromonas caviae, isolated from patients with diarrhea, agglutinated with Shigella boydii 5 antiserum in a slide test. Further studies with seven selected strains showed agglutination with boiled cells in a tube test. Lipopolysaccharide antigen extracted from one of these strains cross-reacted with S. boydii 5 in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot studies. Either all or the majority of the seven strains possessed properties deemed to be diarrheagenic.
