Budvicia aquatica has been found in surface water not associated with human faeces or sewage. The first known case is described of infection in an 85-year-old woman exposed to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, who tested positive for B. aquatica from both blood and urine samples.

Electron microscopic analysis of contractile phage tail-like bacteriocins of three Pragia fontium strains and one Budvicia aquatica strain was performed. Fonticin and aquaticin are remarkably heat sensitive but trypsin resistant. Simultaneous production of contractile and flexible phage tail-like bacteriocins in the P. fontium 64613 strain is shown for the first time.

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, weakly motile, non-spore-forming bacterium (D9(T)) was isolated from the gut of Cylindroiulus fulviceps (Diplopoda) on 1/3-strength nutrient agar plates. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain D9(T) was shown to be phylogenetically closely related to the type strain of Budvicia aquatica, the sole species of the genus Budvicia, family Enterobacteriaceae. The similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain D9(T) and B. aquatica DSM 5075(T) was 98.4 %. Other strains that showed high pairwise similarities with the isolate belonged to the genus Yersinia: Y. frederiksenii ATCC 33641(T) (96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Y. massiliensis CCUG 53443(T) (96.8 %), Y. pestis NCTC 5923(T) (96.8 %), Y. pseudotuberculosis ATCC 29833(T) (96.8 %), Y. similis CCUG 52882(T) (96.7 %) and Y. ruckeri ATCC 29473(T) (96.5 %). The similarities of sequences of the housekeeping genes rpoB, hsp60 and gyrB between strain D9(T) and B. aquatica DSM 5075(T) and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae were less than 94 %. Phylogenetic trees based on all four gene sequences unequivocally grouped the isolate with the type strain of B. aquatica and separately from the genus Yersinia. Cells contained the quinones Q-8, Q-7 and MK-8. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The G+C content of the DNA (48.3 mol%) and the whole-cell fatty acid composition of strain D9(T) (C(14 : 0), C(16 : 1)ω7c, C(16 : 0), cyclo-C(17 : 0) and C(18 : 1)ω7c as major components) were typical for members of the Enterobacteriaceae. DNA-DNA hybridization of strain D9(T) with B. aquatica DSM 5075(T) resulted in a relatedness of 30.4 %, indicating that the isolate did not belong to B. aquatica. Physiological tests allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strain D9(T) from B. aquatica DSM 5075(T) as well as from members of the genus Yersinia. From these results, it is concluded that strain D9(T) represents a novel species, for which the name Budvicia diplopodorum sp. nov. is proposed (type strain D9(T) =DSM 21983(T) = CCM 7845(T)). The description of the genus Budvicia is emended.

Comparative Study
SDS PAGE protein patterns of 37 H2S-positive strains of species belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae including the genera Budvicia (11 strains) and Leminorella (L. grimontii--3 strains, L. richardii--4 strains) were compared with 10 strains of species Pragia fontium. All strains under study form well separated clusters with overall similarity C = .49. Clusters are separated in the range of C = .68-.83. They display high homogeneity, only one strain of Edwardsiella tarda clusters with budviciae. Strains of Pragia form two distinct clusters separated from other genera. Electrophoretograms of two strains which do not group as expected are analyzed and results discussed. Results support evidence that strains designated Pragia fontium deserve independent treatment as a new species.

For the first time lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of 6 Budvicia aquatica strains--representatives of new Enterobacteriaceae species have been isolated. It was shown that the yield of LPS ranged from 0.9 to 7.0 % of cells dry weight. On the basis of monosaccharide composition LPS of tested strains may be referred to 3 groups. The serological studies indicated the immunochemical heterogeneity of B. aquatica species: LPS interacted only in homological system and showed no cross-reactivity with heterological antisera.

The fatty acid composition of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) lipids A of Budvicia aquatica strains (n = 6)--representatives of Enterobacteriaceae new species are studied for the first time. It was established that fatty acids with the length of carbon chains from C12 to C18 are presented. All of B. aquatica strains tested have been found to contain 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid (23.1-43.8%, depending on the strain), which was predominat and characteristic of representatives of Enterobacteriaceae family. LPS of the tested strains displayed toxicity and pyrogeneity.

A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Budvicia aquatica DRL 20186 was isolated, studied, and chemically identified. It was shown to be lowly toxic, but highly pyrogenic. Its fatty acid composition was similar to that of the LPS from other Enterobacteriaceae, with predominance of tetradecanoic (32.7%) and 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acids (23.8%). Hexadecenoic (20.4%), hexadecanoic (11.8%), and dodecanoic acids (8.4%) were also revealed. Double immunodiffusion in agar by the Ouchterlony method revealed antigenic activity of the B. aquatica DLR 20186 LPS in a homologous system. In cross reactions, however, it did not interact with the antisera to other @B. aquatica@ strains.

In cultures of 9 budvicia aquatica and 5 "Pragia fontium" strains production of distinct bacteriocin-like agents was proved. It is suggested to call them aquaticins and fonticins. They display strain specific antibacterial activities towards both genera; however, they are not active towards Escherichia coli or Shigella sonnei indicators. Their inhibition zones are conspicuously narrow (turbid or clear). Their spontaneous production may be enhanced by UV-induction of producing bacteria. They are readily set free into the medium; no intracellular accumulation occurs. With only one exception, they are trypsin-resistant and remarkably heat-sensitive, being damaged at 45 degrees C to 55 degrees C. All these results suggest that aquaticins and fonticins are of corpuscular character. This assumption was proved true by electron microscopic observation of one of the fonticins: this resembles contracted tails of bacteriophage T4.
