The research presented in this memory was carried out at the Institute Pasteur in Côte d'Ivoire and carried out on E. coli and Salmonella spp. The objective of this study was to isolate E. coli and Salmonella spp. strains resistant to antibiotics from wastewater from the Port-Bouët slaughterhouse. From September 2017 to March 2018, 17 strains of E. coli and 7 Salmonella spp. were isolated in 63 samples of wastewater collected at the slaughterhouse of Port-Bouët. Their identification was performed according to conventional bacteriological tests. An antibiogram according to the disk diffusion method was carried out for 21 antibiotics used in human and veterinary medicine. The prevalence observed was 26.98% for E coli strains. and 11.11% for Salmonella spp. All strains of E. coli showed complete (100%) resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins, aztreonam, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, and ampicillin. However, family resistance rates of quinolones, aminoglycosides, sulfonamides and cyclins remain very high. The sensitivity of E. coli to imipenem and amikacin was 100%. Salmonella spp. strains, on the other hand, were resistant only to beta-lactam at lower levels compared to E. coli strains. coli. In-depth studies are needed to determine the resistance mechanisms of these bacteria..
