[Antigenic relationships between "Levinea amalonatica" and "Shigella dysenteriae" and "boydii" (author's transl)]

Twenty-eight strains among thirty-five Levinea amalonatica show O antigenic relationships with Shigella as follows: with S. dysenteriae 3 (5 strains), S. dysenteriae 4 (1 strain), S. dysenteriae 5 (3 strains), S. dysenteriae 7 (11 strains), S. boydii 6 (7 strains), and with both S. boydii 15 and S. dysenteriae 8 (1 strain). These strains do not induce purulent keratogenous conjunctivitis in Guinea pigs as Shigella do.
