Implication
Enteroviruses in oysters occur independently of bacterial indicators; challenges bacteriological standards and leaves open need for virus-specific monitoring.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Oysters and oyster-harvesting waters of the Texas Gulf coast (44 water samples, 40 pools of 10 to 12 oysters each)
O
Outcome
Presence and concentration of enterovirusessurrogate
Current bacteriological standards for determining the safety of shellfish and shellfish-growing waters do not reflect the occurrence of enteroviruses.
