Abstract
We describe an outbreak of Shigella sonnei infection among 24 persons who had eaten raw oysters in restaurants in southeastern Texas within five days before the onset of symptoms. The oysters in all eight restaurants were supplied by the same dealer, but examination of a routine water sample collected six days before the probable time of contamination showed the waters where the oysters were harvested to be free of fecal contamination, making widespread sewage contamination unlikely.
