We investigated an acute foodborne outbreak in Yaounde, Cameroon, following a private party. Plesiomonas shigelloides, which has rarely been reported as the causative agent of foodborne outbreaks, was strongly suspected. The unusual short incubation period suggested the presence of a preformed toxin within the incriminated food.
