title: Cell adhesion of Plesiomonas shigelloides.
abstract: Plesiomonas shigelloides evidences an inconsistent behaviour in the INT-407 cell adhesion test. Isolates from clinical material evidence regular and pronounced cell adhesion which, however, is low compared with that of clinical Aeromonas isolates. In some of the P. shigelloides strains isolated from clinical material, the cell adhesion is markedly more pronounced than in others. The P. shigelloides strains isolated from the natural habitat from both pond water, mud samples and water insects manifest either no or only slight cell adhesion.
