Abstract
A epidemic of enteric pathogens bacteria occurred in december 1989 and caused two deaths in a nursery. There were many investigations between december 1989 and september 1990 trying to clarify this epidemic context. A new serovar of Salmonella had for the first time been isolated from babies' feces in Algeria. Salmonella m'bandaka has been identified in more than 50% of analysis. During an hygienic investigation in this nursery the above Salmonella m'bandaka was isolated in a open physiologic solution flask.
