The aim of this study is to determine presence of multi drug resistant strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from animals and man. Material for testing was obtained by scraping the cecun surface from broilers, pig cecum and colon, and human feces. A total of 55 strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. Out of total, 24 strains originated from man, 16 from broilers were isolated, and 15 from pigs. Multi drug resistance was determined in cases when the strains were resistant to two or more antibiotiocs. Applying E-test, we detected that the largest number of Campylobacters jejuni were multi drug resistant to two antibiotics (41.2%), and the three antibiotics (11.8%). Applying dics diffusion method it was detected that 5.9% of Camplylobacter jejuni from man was resistant to four tested antibiotics. Applying all three methods, it was detected that the largest number of Campylobacter strains was resistant to two antibiotics and three antibiotics. Applying disc diffusion method it was detected that 50% of Campylobacter coli strains from pigs were resistant to three tested antibiotics.
