| Description | With a microdilution, disk diffusion and agar dilution method, resistance to six antimicrobial agents were examined in a reference strain Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560 and 73 thermo-tolerant isolates of Campylobacter spp. For the microdilution method our determined values of microbiological breakpoints of resistant strains were suggested as the minimum inhibitxory concentration. Comparison of the results of the resistance examination showed that all compared methods yielded identical results with the exception of the resistance determination in erythromycin and nalidixic acid. |
