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.

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.

It was established that fatty acids with the length of carbon chains from C12 to C18 are presented. All of B.

The following structure of the O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen) of Budvicia aquatica 20186 was elucidated by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy: →4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1→2)-α-Yerp-(1→3)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→ where Yer stands for 3,6-dideoxy-4-C-[(S)-1-hydroxyethyl]-D-xylo-hexose (yersiniose A).

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.
