Abstract:
During May-June 1993, an outbreak of acute diarrhoea resulting in deaths primarily in adults was reported in two districts of Orissa state. Epidemiological and microbiological investigations revealed that this outbreak was caused by V. cholerae 01 biotype EITor. V. cholerae 01 strains were uniformly resistant to furazolidone.
