Abstract
Vibrio cholerae O:1, serotype Ogawa and biotype El Tor (76,1 %) was re sponsible of the outbreak of cholera in Dakar, Senegal (1995 - 1996). However other bacteria were isolated, particularly Vibrio cholerae non O:I / non O:139, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parah aemolyticus, Salmonella sp.p, Shigella sp.p (23,9 %). The Vibrio chole rae O:1 strains are multiresistant to sulfonamide, cotrimoxazole and c hloramphenicol. 97 % were also resistant to O/129 compound. Fluoroquin olone and 3rd generation cephalosporins were the more efficient antibi otics (100 %).
