We investigated the occurrence of drug-resistant Vibrio cholerae among patients in the Hospital Regional de la Seguridad Social in San Pedro, Sula, Honduras. 11 patients were studied; five children and six adults. Stool samples were collected in sterile containers and processed for V cholerae isolation. Colonies presumptively identified as V cholerae were tested for antibiotic resistance with standardised disk diffusion.1 All suspect V cholerae isolates were sent to the INCIENSA Reference Laboratory for Cholera (Tres Rios, Costa Rica) for confirmation and serotyping.
