We decided to examine sensitivity of Campilobacter jejuni and Campilobacter coli originating from human, poultry and pigs to erithromycin, tetracycline, ampicillin, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. We used three methods: disc diffusion, agar dilution and E test. Results obtained from applied three methods are almost identical. Considerable number of strains of Campylobacter species originating from poultry and pigs was resistant to tetracycline, rising as far as 80; in pigs. In humans resistance to ciprofloxacin was up to 50; and to erithromycin 16.7;. In pigs 30; strains of Campylobacter species was resistant to erithromycin. High percentage of resistant strains of Campylobacter to most frequently used antimicrobials is explained with incontrolled application of antibiotics in veterinarian medicine. Concerning the lack of standardized methods for this species, cost of E test and complexity of performed agar dilution method, we recommend disc diffusion method as standard.
