Abstract

We studied the resistance of 5 isolates of Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni ATCC 29428, C. jejuni FBRL-S32, C. jejuni FBRL-S29, C. jejuni FBRL-S22 and C. jejuni FBRL-S17) to 10 antimicrobial agents commonly used in Thailand (cephalothin, vancomycin, erythromycin, ampicillin, penicillin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, sulfonamide, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline). The results showed that each strain of C. jejuni differed in resistance to antimicrobial agents. C. jejuni FBRL-S23 was resistant to all antibiotics used in the study. Erythromycin, ampicillin and ciprofloxacin were effective in inactivation of some C. jejuni tested in this experiment. Cephalothin, vancomycin, penicillin, norfloxacin, sulfonamide, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline were not effective in inhibition of C. jejuni.
