In 26 patients with the classical clinical picture of an ulcerous colitis and in 8 healthy control persons in the course of a rectoscopy in about 15 cm depth tissue was taken bioptically and underwent an electron-microscopic investigation. Moreover, enzyme-histological examinations were performed. Summarizingly, clear references to immune-pathological processes for development and course of ulcerous colitis are the result.

Plesiomonas shigelloides was isolated out of the feces from two patients. In one case the patient (she just arrived back from Kenia) had cholera-like symptoms. In the other case the nonspecific symptoms led to an appendectomy. In this case the association of the clinical symptoms with the bacteriological results is doubtful. Plesiomonas shigelloides belongs to the genus III. (Plesiomonas) of the family II. (Vibrionaceae) Part 8. (gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rods). Some of Plesiomonas shigelloides strains share a common O antigen with Sh. sonnei. Literature about infectious gastroenteritis in humans due to Plesiomonas shigelloides is very spare. This is the reason why the pathogenicity of this bacterium on humans is not comonly known. After on year of stool-research, with a relative small number of specimens, we found Plesiomonas shigelloides twice. This is the reason why we could assume that this bacterium is more often in feces than we thought till now.
