abstract={The isolation and characterization of <i>Vibrio</i> strains were carried out in Yaounde (equatorial area). Well water characteristic focused on water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved CO<SUB>2</SUB>, electrical conductivity, suspended solids. <i>V</i><i>ibrio</i><i> cholerae, V</i><i>ibrio</i><i> fluvialis, V</i><i>ibrio</i><i> mimicus, V</i><i>ibrio</i><i> parahaemolyticus </i><i>and</i><i> V</i><i>ibrio</i><i> vulnificus</i><i> </i>were identified in all four wells investigated. On 50 strains of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> tested, 8 agglutinated anti O<SUB>1</SUB> serum; 16% therefore belong to serogroup O<SUB>1</SUB>. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that most of the environmental strains of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> studied are sensitive to the majority of the antibiotics tested. The percentage of sensitivity for most of the antibiotics tested is above 50%. CPR (98%); CTX (94%); GM (84%); AMC (82%); DOX (72%); AMX (70%); NAL (52%). There were 34% cases of resistant to nalidixic acid, 26% to amoxicillin, 24% to chloramphenicol, and 18% to doxycycline. The percentage of sensitivity of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> O<SUB>1</SUB> is always greater than 50% with GM (100%); AMX and DOX (87.5%); CTX and CPR (75%); AMC and NAL (62.5%); CHL (50%). These results contribute to prevention and control of cholera in equatorial region.},
