[Bacterial etiologies of acute infantile diarrhea in Dakar].

Systematic research into all the bacterial etiological agents responsible for acute diarrhoea was undertaken on 276 diarrhoea stools collected from children aged 0-5 years. Particular attention was given to finding bacterial agents usually overlooked during routine checks: Campylobacter, Vibrionaceae and Yersinia enterocolitica.
