Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) cultured in Deep Bay, Hong Kong were examined for their bacterial contents from November 1989 to April 1990. Bacterial counts of Faecal coliform, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis and Salmonellae were high in the adductor muscles, gills, mantle and visceral portions of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. It was found that most of the bacteria accumulated in the mantle and visceral portions of the oyster. The maximum number of Faecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis and Salmonellae were 61.03×105, 5.87×10
