We investigated an October 2014 outbreak of illness caused by Shigella sonnei in a daycare center in South Korea. The outbreak strain was resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones and was traced to a child who had traveled to Vietnam. Improved hygiene and infection control practices are needed for prevention of shigellosis.
