Résumé

BACKGROUND: isolated from drinking water and faecal samples from diarrheic patients in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 242 water samples consisting of 182 potable sachets and 60 from boreholes were collected in the period between October 2018 and April 2019 in the city of Ouagadougou. Faecal samples were also collected from 201 diarrheic patients visiting National Public Health Laboratory for a biological diagnosis by coproculture. The presence of virulence genes associated with DEC was determined by 16-plex polymerase chain reaction from bacteria culture. RESULTS: (ETEC) was not detected alone, but in co-infections with EAEC. CONCLUSION: pathovars associated in patients with diarrhea, and shows that drinking water might be a source of DEC transmission in human.
