Abstract
Salmonella enteritidis (SE) is the most frequently reported Salmonella serotype in the United States. From January through December 1991, state health departments reported 66 outbreaks of SE in the United States to CDC. This report describes an SE outbreak associated with consumption of raw shell eggs and underscores the necessity of adequately cooking shell eggs.
