ABSTRACT
Vibrio cholerae non-O1, non-O139 is the third bacterium group from the genus Vibrio most
commonly causing diarrhea. It survives in aquatic environments, using the formation of
biofilm as a survival mechanism facilitating the transmission of diarrheal disease. Multi-drug
resistant V. cholerae isolates have been characterized since the year 1977, and some of the
mechanisms involved include the production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs).
The purpose of the study was to determine the formation of biofilm in Cuban isolates of V.
cholerae non-O1, non-O139 causing acute diarrheal disease (ADD), and detect the production
of ESBLs in those with total or intermediate resistance to ampicillin. A descriptive crosssectional
study was conducted from January 2014 to June 2015. The study sample was 55
previously characterized isolates obtained from the strain collection at the ADD National
Reference Laboratory of Pedro Kourí Institute. For phenotypic determination of ESBLs, 43
were studied which were known to be susceptible to ampicillin. 54.5 % of the isolates tested
positive for biofilm formation, with a predominance of those classified as moderate (46.6 %)
and weak (36.6 %) biofilm producers. Of the 34 isolates resistant to ampicillin, 26.5 % were
positive for ESBL production. Of the 9 with intermediate ampicillin resistance, 44.4 % were
positive. The results of the present study contribute knowledge about their ability to persist in
the environment, and provide insight into antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
