Present study aimed to identify the V.cholera in Sawa lake cause there is rare study about contamination of Sawa lake . A total of 10 water samples were collected from Sawa lake in different period , one sample every month from March to December 2016 .Samples were cultured directly on specific medium (Alkaline peptone water , TcBs) bacteria was identified according to cultural characteristics , biochemical tests (Api 20 , serotyping and antibiotic sensivity test . Results showed that 5 (50%) of samples were positive for isolation of Vibrio cholera after further identification for isolated found 1 isolate was positive for V. cholera O1 Ogawa serotypes in November . Our isolates (V. cholera O1)was resistant 100% for Chloramphenicol ,Sulfa, Trimethoprim , Clindamycin and Linezolid , while sensitive 100% for Ampicillin , Cefotaxime , Ceftriaxone , Erythromycin , Tetracyclin , Nitrofurantin and Gentamycin.
