چکیده
BACKGROUND Campylobacter jejuni infections are typically self-limited, and severe extra-intestinal complications are uncommon. CASE REPORT We report a case of a man with septic shock due to fluoroquinolones resistant Campylobacter jejuni. CONCLUSIONS This manuscript emphasizes the potential lethality of fluorquinolones resistant Campylobacter jejuni bacteremia.

Antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli clinical isolates from Poland.
We tested 102 Campylobacter jejuni and 6 Campylobacter coli clinical isolates from Poland. All were susceptible to erythromycin. Among the tested C. jejuni isolates 55.9% and 13.7% were resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, respectively. Replacement of Thr86 with Ile in GyrA and a plasmid-borne tet(O) gene were the main resistance mechanisms for fluoroquinolones and tetracycline, respect...

Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are the main causes of gastrointestinal diseases in humans even in industrialized countries affecting public health. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the occurrence and antibiotic resistance of C. jejuni and C. coli in chicken meat, beef, mutton and water buffalo meat slaughtered in Ahvaz city, Iran. A total of 380...
متن کاملCiprofloxacin resistance in Campylobacter jejuni evolves rapidly in chickens treated with fluoroquinolones.
Fluoroquinolones are commonly used to treat gastroenteritis caused by Campylobacter species. Domestically acquired fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter infection has been documented recently in the United States. It has been proposed that the increase in resistance is due, in part, to the use of fluoroquinolones in poultry. In separate experiments, the effects of sarafloxacin and enrofloxaci...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of 11 fluoroquinolones against 226 Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from Finnish patients, with special reference to ciprofloxacin resistance.
OBJECTIVES Although Campylobacter jejuni is naturally susceptible to fluoroquinolones, the resistance to these antimicrobials has increased rapidly during the recent years. The aim of this study was to compare the activities of various older and newer fluoroquinolones towards C. jejuni, with special attention on ciprofloxacin-resistant strains. METHODS We analysed the in vitro activities of 1...
متن کاملIncreasing Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Campylobacter jejuni, Pennsylvania, USA,1982–200111
Fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter jejuni has been observed worldwide and is now being seen in the United States. Among patients in our health-care system in Pennsylvania, fluoroquinolone-resistant C. jejuni were not observed from 1982 to 1992; however, resistance increased to 40.5% in 2001. Resistance to erythromycin remains at a low level (<5%).
