ABSTRACT
During a period of two successive years, 1990 and 1991, about 28000 rectal swabs, including limited numbers of drinking and sewage water,which had been collected from patients suspeccted to have cholera,were studied for the presence of Vibrio choleraeserogroup 01. These patients were residents of all the parts of KhouzestanProvince,Soutwest of Iran. In this research, vibrio cholerae01.biotypeEltor was isolated from 0.13% of patients in 1990 and from 0.71% in 1991, respectively.In 1990, prevalent serotypes were Inaba52%, Ogawa 22%.
The majority of patients were under 5 years and there was no significant difference according to sex.Antibiotic sensitivity test showed that the rate of resistance was as follows:Streptomycin 73%,Ampicillin 56%,Tetracylin 41%, Trimethoprim Sulphamethoxazole 4%, Erythromycin 4%, Chloramphenicol 0% and polymyxin B 0%. Thus,prevalence of bacteria was not high but resistance to some antibiotics was noticed.Presence of many bacteria other than serogroup 01 deserves further investigation(1)
