Abstract
Vibrio hollisae was recovered from the stool culture of a 40-year-old female hospitalized for severe abdominal cramping, vomiting, fever, and watery diarrhea. She had consumed two dozen raw oysters 5 days prior. There was only a single colony on thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose-agar, and definitive identification required conventional test media with 1% NaCl.
