[Initial observations in Upper-Volta on 41 serotypes of Salmonella isolated at Muraz Center]

Among 186 Salmonella strains isolated at the Muraz Center from 1966 to 1976, representing 45 serotypes, the authors describe 41 serotypes identified for the first time in Upper-Volta, 3 of which constituting new serotypes: S. bobo, S. kua, S. farakan. A few remarks show the significance of Salmonella circulation in a west-africa area where the incidence of bacterial enteric diseases is a constant problem of public health.
