shigelloides organism does not always cause illness in the host animal but may reside temporarily as a transient, noninfectious member of the intestinal flora.
The usual route of transmission of the organism in sporadic or epidemic cases is by ingestion of contaminated water or raw shellfish.
shigelloides may be recovered from food and water by methods similar to those used for stool analysis.

Plesiomonas shigelloides, the only member of the genus, is a gram-negative bacillus belonging to the family Vibrionaceae.
shigelloides is commonly associated with sporadic and epidemic diarrheal disease, traveler’s diarrhea and rarely, as a cause of persistent dysentery and pseudomembranous colitis.

 Presence of cytotoxic Aeromonas and Plesiomonas shigelloides in fresh vegetables
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of Aeromonas species and Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from fresh produce, in Costa Rica.
Plesiomonas shigelloides were found in 6% (5 samples) of lettuce and 3% (3 samples) of celery.
Even though the specific public health significance of cytotoxic Aeromonas and Plesiomonas shigelloides in fresh produce is unknown, its presence in vegetables suggests that the sanitary quality of these represents a risk for public health.

Plesiomonas shigelloides is a gram-negative, oxidase-positive rodshaped bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
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.

 Epsilon Dissertations and Graduate Theses Archive - Studies on Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from different ...
Plesiomonas shigelloides is an aquatic microorganism recognised recently as potential human and animal pathogen.
shigelloides is not specified in many clinical laboratories; therefore, a PCR for specific detection of this bacterium was developed.
This finding is the first molecular evidence of the possible role of P. shigelloides as a zoonotic agent. In conclusion, this thesis research has contributed significantly to our knowledge of P. shigelloides by providing new information on its distribution, its specific detection by PCR, intra-species relationship and its possible relation with zoonotic cases.

 Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides as causes of intestinal infections - Publication - RTI International
Infections due to Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides in immuno-compromised hosts have been well documented, but the role of these organisms in causing gastrointestinal disease in healthy persons is controversial.
Replacement of fluid and electrolytes is the basis of treatment, and antimicrobial agents should be reserved for patients with chronic or serious illness, or for those at particular risk of serious illness (hepatobiliary disease, septicemia, neoplasms).

shigelloides organism does not always cause illness in the host animal but may reside temporarily as a transient, non-infectious member of the intestinal flora.
It has been isolated from the stools of patients with diarrhoea, but is also sometimes isolated from healthy individuals (0.2-3.2% of population).
It cannot yet be considered a definite cause of human disease, although its association with human diarrhoea and the virulence factors it demonstrates make it a prime candidate.
