| description | Plesiomonas shigelloides is a gram-negative, oxidase-positive rodshaped bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae. P. shigelloides is most frequently isolated in tropical and subtropical areas, but has also been isolated in colder areas for instance in Sweden. The primary natural habitat of the bacterium is fresh water and indirectly waterliving animals, but the bacterium can also be recovered from humans, mammals (of which cats are over-represented), birds, insects and poikilothermic animals. P. shigelloides is an opportunistic bacterium and reports about its role as a human pathogen is increasing.
There are only a few reports on P. shigelloides as an enteric pathogen among animals. In my study, P. shigelloides was demonstrated in one out of five cats with diarrhea. On the other hand, plesiomonads were not found in the twenty samples from the healthy cats. Similar results were obtained from the ongoing study on P. shigelloides, as a possible cause of diarrhea in cats in Sweden. In that study P. shigelloides was demonstrated in three out of seven cats with diarrhea, but plesiomonads were not found in the eighteen samples from the healthy cats. Thus, P. shigelloides could be demonstrated in four out of twelve examined cats with diarrhea, but not in the thirty-eight samples from the healthy cats.
In conclusion, our investigation shows that P. shigelloides can occur in cats suffering with diarrhea in Sweden. However, complementary studies are necessary to investigate P. shigelloides role as an enteric pathogen among domestic animals. It would also be interesting to investigate if P. shigelloides is a zoonotic enteric pathogen. |

Plesiomonas shigelloides är en gramnegativ, oxidaspositiv stavformad bakterie, som tillhör familjen Enterobacteriaceae. Plesiomonader förekommer främst i tropiska och subtropiska områden, men bakterien har även isolerats från kallare klimat i till exempel Sverige. Plesiomonas shigelloides primära habitat är sötvatten och vattenlevande djur indirekt, men har också isolerats från människor, däggdjur (varav katter är överrepresenterade), fåglar, insekter och andra växelvarma djur. Plesiomonas shigelloides är en opportunistisk bakterie som har fått allt större uppmärksamhet som humanpatogen. Sambandet mellan infektion och sjukdom är inte lika väldokumenterad hos djur som hos människa. Det finns ett fåtal rapporter kring P. shigelloides som enteropatogen bakterie hos husdjur. I mitt arbete påvisades P. shigelloides från en av fem katter med diarré, medan inga plesiomonader påvisades från de tjugo friska katterna. Liknande resultat erhölls från den pågående studien kring P. shigelloides som möjlig orsak till diarré hos katter i Sverige. I den undersökningen påvisades P. shigelloides hos tre av sju katter med diarré, medan inga plesiomonader påvisades från de arton friska katterna. Sammantaget innebär det att P. shigelloides påvisades från fyra av tolv katter med diarré, medan inga plesiomonader påvisades hos de trettioåtta friska katterna. Sammanfattningsvis visar vår undersökning att plesiomonader kan förekomma i samband med diarré hos katt i Sverige. Det krävs dock mer omfattande studier för att klargöra vilken roll P. shigelloides spelar som enteropatogen hos husdjur. Det vore också intressant att utreda om P. shigelloides är en zoonotisk enteropatogen.
