In vitro susceptibilities of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli to azithromycin and erythromycin

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1991 Sep;35(9):1917-8. doi: 10.1128/AAC.35.9.1917.

Abstract

MICs of azithromycin and erythromycin for 20 Campylobacter coli and 20 Campylobacter jejuni strains were determined. The results demonstrated that, for Campylobacter species, all high-level erythromycin-resistant strains were also resistant to azithromycin and that azithromycin did not exhibit increased potency in comparison with that of erythromycin.
