In Senegal, rectal swabs from cattle, wild rodents and chiropterans were cultured for Enterobacteriaceae. Isolates were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Two cefotaxime-resistant isolates were found in a black rat (Rattus rattus): a multiresistant Escherichia coli with blaCTX-M-15 gene and Enterobacter cloacae resistant to ampicillin and cephalotin with blaTEM-52b gene. Sympatric rats in Senegal may represent an important reservoir for antibiotic-resistant. Enterobacteriaceae including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producing isolates.
