Abstract
In the course of a study to determine the nature and type of secondary bacterial infection in dracunculiasis. The most common organisms cultured from lesions were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter and Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli and Enterobacter which were found to carry high morbidity were sensitive to Gentamycin, Claforan and Septrin.
