Bacterial strains of Shigella dysenteriae I (3818-T and 3818-O) and Shigella enterotoxin altered myoelectric activity of the small intestine in New Zealand White rabbits. These agents were compared with activity caused by sterile culture broth or sterile saline. The altered myoelectric activity was characterized by two distinct complexes: repetitive bursts of action potentials (RBAP), characteristic of invasive strains of bacteria, and the migrating action potential complex (MAPC), characteristic of noninvasive bacteria. RBAP activity was the predominant myoelectric complex observed with S. dysenteriae strain 3818-T, an invader and toxin producer; S. dysenteriae strain 3818-O, a noninvader and toxin producer; and by Shigella enterotoxin. MAPC activity was present but was significantly less in all cases. These studies of the small intestine demonstrate an alteration in myoelectric activity characterized principally by RBAP activity indicative of invasion.
