The aerogenic, mannitol-negative A 12 is serologically identical with the typical Shigella serotype, S. boydii 14. As mannitol-negative strains of S. boydii 14 exist and as the aerogenic A 12 organism is otherwise biochemically typical of the Shigella group, it is proposed that A 12 be regarded as a biochemical variety of S. boydii 14 analogous to the accepted aerogenic biochemical varieties of S. flexneri 6., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-26-3-535
