**5. Conclusions**

Microbiota from *B. lanceolatus* oral cavity is polymicrobial with bacteria mostly susceptible to third-generation cephalosporins and more rarely to amoxicillin/clavulanate. In the absence of definitive international guidelines for the managemen<sup>t</sup> of snakebite-associated infections, our findings support that the first-line antibiotic therapy should include a third-generation cephalosporin rather than amoxicillin/clavulanate in patients suffering infections as a consequence of *B. lanceolatus* snakebites in Martinique.
