    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1984 Sep; 26(3):351-3. PubMed ID: 6508265.
    Abstract:
    To determine whether employing antibiograms is useful to separate Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, we determined the MICs of 12 antibiotics for 104 human clinical strains and 74 swine strains. Of 74 swine strains, 5 (7%) were hippurate positive, as were 93 (89%) of 104 human strains. The 12 antimicrobial agents tested were ampicillin, amoxicillin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, furazolidone, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid, rosoxacin, rosaramicin, tetracycline, and Sch 32063. Isolates from humans were significantly (P less than 0.001) more susceptible than swine strains to clindamycin, erythromycin, rosaramicin, and Sch 32063. Of 11 human hippurate-negative strains, 3 (27%) were resistant to clindamycin, erythromycin, rosaramicin, and Sch 32063, compared with 1 of 93 (1%) hippurate-positive strains. Nearly all human and swine strains were susceptible to furazolidone and nalidixic acid. Campylobacter isolates from humans and swine have different antibiograms, and the susceptibility to certain antibiotics, such as clindamycin, may be helpful for differentiation of C. jejuni from C. coli.
