Abstract
An outbreak of cholera occurred in Maldah district, West Bengal during July-August 1998. Attack rate was 34/1000. Cases were more (59.3%) amongst adults (> 15 years.). V. cholerae 01 biotype E1 Tor serotype ogawa was isolated as a single pathogen from 52.9% (9/17 samples examined). All V. cholerae strains belonged to phage type 2 (Basu and Mukherjee scheme) and type 27 (new phage type scheme). The strains were resistant to co-trimoxazole, furazolidone, ampicillin, streptomycin and nalidixic acid.Entities:
