Plesiomonas shigelloides is a species of bacteria[1] and the only member of its genus. It is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium which has been isolated from freshwater, freshwater fish, shellfish, cattle, goats, swine, cats, dogs, monkeys, vultures, snakes, toads and humans.[2] It is considered a fecal coliform. P. shigelloides is a global distributed species, found globally outside of the polar ice caps.[3]

P. shigelloides has been associated with the diarrheal disease state in humans, but has been identified in healthy humans as well.[4] It can enter the body either through contact with water contaminated by fecal matter or through seafood originating from a contaminated source.[5]
