Initial empirical antimicrobial treatment was considered inappropriate in 44.6% of cases. A high concordance between easily taken swab cultures and those taken by biopsy was noted, especially in DFO. This was helpful for early change to appropriate treatment in cases where MDROs were isolated and empirical treatment was inappropriate. Further research is needed to confirm this observation in clinical practice. A high concordance between easily taken swab cultures and those taken by biopsy was noted, especially in DFO.

Introduction Cholera, an acute diarrheal illness caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with , is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality globally. The occurrence of outbreaks of cholera are difficult to prevent in low and middle-income countries, especially those under armed conflicts. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of a cohort of inpatients with cholera in two main hospitals in Taiz and Sana'a, Yemen, between 3 February 2017 and 8 December 2017. Patient data were entered into an excel database and analyzed using STATA 16.1. Descriptive summaries of patient's data were presented as frequencies and percentages. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were compared using the Chi-square test. Preliminary findings from 172 hospitalizations for cholera during the study period include 163 that were severely dehydrated (94.8%). Age, education, hand hygiene, sanitation, water source, stool content and malnutrition were significantly associated with severe dehydration. This data contributes to a greater understanding of the associ
