O antigens 0149 to 0163 are recent additions to the Escherichia coli antigenic scheme. Their antigenic relationships with Shigella serovars were examined. O antigen identity was demonstrated between E. coli 0149 and Shigella boydii 1 and between E. coli 0152 and provisional Shigella serovar 3341-55. A reciprocal relationship was found between E. coli 0159 and Shigella dysenteriae 4 but identity was not demonstrated. The remaining E. coli O antigens were not significantly related to any Shigella serovar.
