title: [Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from 2 patients with acute enteritis].
abstract: Three Plesiomonas shigelloides strains were isolated from 2 cases of acute enteritis. The bacilli developed in pure or predominantly pure cultures on ADCL and Istrati-Meitert isolation media. A description is given of the morphologic, cultural, biochemical properties and sensitivity of the strains to antibiotics. One of the patients presented agglutinins in a 1/40+ + titre. The arguments lending support to the causative role of these bacilli are discussed. It is for the first time that isolation of Plesiomonas shigelloides has been reported in Romania.
