A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, to identify the yeast diversity associated with the manufacture of dolo, a traditional fermented beverage of Burkina Faso. From sixty specimens spread onto chromogenic medium plates, sixty-two strains were isolated then identified using MALDI-TOF analysis. Seven yeast species were identified, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (39%) followed by Pichia manshurica (18%) being the most frequent. Forty-three percent of the samples contained Candida species, notably Candida albicans. In conclusion, the combined use of a chromogenic medium and MALDI-TOF analysis reveals a higher diversity in yeast species present in the dolo than previously thought.
