Susceptibility pattern of Campylobacter jejuni from human and animal origins to different antimicrobial agents

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1982 Jun;21(6):990-2. doi: 10.1128/AAC.21.6.990.

Abstract

The in vitro antimicrobial activities of different antimicrobial agents on Campylobacter jejuni from human and animal origins were compared by using a Dynatech MIC 2000 system. In general, the minimal inhibitory concentration distributions for the human strains were very comparable with those of the animal strains. The animal strains had a bimodal distribution for ampicillin, clindamycin, and tetracycline.
