[Microbiological diagnosis of microorganisms tentatively designated as "SP organisms"].

The authors describe the biochemical characteristics of two strains described as "SP organism". This microorganism incertae sedis resembles from the biochemical aspect (oxidase+, mannite-, dextrose+ with gas) the species Pasteurella aerogenes; contrary to the latter it does not break down urea and differs also as regards the morphology of colonies, which on blood agar are coarser; it also has a higher content of G + C in DNA than Pasteurella. It is a pathogen of rodents. The authors describe two isolates, the first is obviously an incidental finding from the faeces of a 5-year-old girl who was symptom-free, the second is from the contents of an abscess of a nutria. For comparison also biochemical characteristics of known aerogenic pasteurellae and Pasteurella-like strains are given.

Rarely occurring Shigella serovars.

In addition to the predominant Shigella sonnei, also rarely occurring Shigella serovars have been found in Czechoslovakia: 4 serovars of subgroup A (S. dysenteriae 3, 4, 7 and 12) and 11 serovars of subgroup C (S. boydii 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 lactose-positive, 10, 13, 14 aerogenic, mannitol-negative, 15, 16 and the provisional serovar E 16553). First isolations of these serovars were mostly connected with cases imported from abroad. Some serovars were isolated repeatedly. Newly recognized serovars of S. flexneri (3b, 5a) as well as biochemically aberrant strains of subgroup B (S. flexneri), C (S. boydii) and D (S. sonnei) were isolated. Frequency and importance of some S. flexneri serovars have been changing in the course of time, e.g. S. flexneri 2b, that had evidently been frequent in central Europe 40 years ago, disappeared completely.
