title: [Isolation of Vibrio cholerae non 01 from sewage in Argentina].
abstract: The Vibrio cholerae non 01 closely related to the classic choleric vibrio epidemic has acquired worldwide importance during the last decade, with outbreaks of diarrheas, septicemia and other disorders in humans and animals. Contaminated food and water and also liquids from sewers offer important steps in the transmission chain. Its isolation in the Atlantic and Pacific coast has led us to investigate its presence in our country, using sewage for the first study. We isolated for the first time in Argentina 27 strains of Vibrio cholerae non 01 from samples taken in the district of Berisso which discharges its waters into the River Plate.
