Infrastructure of 29 P. shigelloides strains isolated as the only positive finding from children with diarrhea (biochemical properties, antigenic structure, antigenic relationship to shigellae, ATB susceptibility and plasmids) were described. A big variety of 22 serovars in a relatively small number of strains was found, inclusive four new 0 (093, 094, 095 and 096) and one new H (H46) antigen. Some strains belonged to the so-called "Schubert antigenic scheme" the serovars of which come of surface water of small ponds in Germany.
