Susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus to twenty-two antimicrobial agents

Susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni to twenty antimicrobiol agents.

One hundred recent clinical isolates of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were tested by an agar dilution technique for susceptibility to each of 20 antimicrobial agents. Doxycycline and gentamicin were the most active of the drugs examined, inhibiting all strains at concentrations achievable in serum. Although the median minimal inhibitory concentration of erythromycin was low, 8% of the isola...

Susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni to twenty-nine antimicrobial agents.

The activity of 29 antimicrobial agents was tested against 95 strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni isolated from human stools. Furazolidone and gentamycin were the most active agents. The tetracyclines, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol were very active against most of the strains, but with each antibiotic a few resistant strains were found. The penicillins were relatively inactive, and...

Susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, isolated from patients in Jakarta, Indonesia to ten antimicrobial agents.

Susceptibility of Legionella pneumophila to twenty antimicrobial agents.

Thirty-three isolates of Legionella pneumophila, all except one of which were clinical isolates, were tested against 20 antimicrobial agents by using an agar dilution technique. Erythromycin, rifamp]in, and rosaramycin were the most active agents tested. Aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, and cefoxitin also inhibited the organisms at low concentrations. Other agents, including moxalactam, cefope...

Susceptibility of Campylobacter pyloridis to 20 antimicrobial agents.

The susceptibility of 50 strains of Campylobacter pyloridis, isolated from human gastric biopsies, to 20 antimicrobial agents representing the different families of antibiotics was tested. The pattern of susceptibility was similar to that of the C. jejuni-C. coli group except for ampicillin, cephalothin, and rifampin. The relative resistance to cefsulodin was also noted.
