title: [Bacterial diversity during the cholera epidemic in Dakar, Senegal (1995-1996)].
abstract: Vibrio cholerae O:1, serotype Ogawa and biotype El Tor (76.1%) was responsible of the outbreak of cholera in Dakar, Senegal (1995-1996). However, other bacteria were isolated, particularly Vibrio cholerae non O:1/non O:139, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio alginolyticus. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella sp.p, Shigella sp.p (23.9%). The Vibrio cholerae O:1 strains are multiresistant to sulfonamide, cotrimoxazole and chloramphenicol. 97% were also resistant to O/129 compound. Fluoroquinolone and 3rd generation cephalosporins were the more efficient antibiotics (100%).
