Abstract
Of the 110 consecutive isolates of Vibrio cholerae recovered from cholera patients admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Calcutta, India, between July 1989 and October 1990, 90 and 82.7% were resistant to 10 and 150 micrograms of 2,4-diamino-6,7-diisopropylpteridine (O/129), respectively. Additionally, all O/129-resistant strains of V. cholerae were multiply resistant to antimicrobial agents. Except in the cases of four strains, resistance to O/129 was invariably linked with resistance to co-trimoxazole. Although O/129 susceptibility is still a useful test for Vibrio identification, resistance of V. cholerae to this compound in local areas might occasionally pose a problem.
