title: In vitro susceptibilities of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli to azithromycin and erythromycin.
abstract: MICs of azithromycin and erythromycin for 20 Campylobacter coli and 20 Campylobacter jejuni strains were determined. The results demonstrated that, for Campylobacter species, all high-level erythromycin-resistant strains were also resistant to azithromycin and that azithromycin did not exhibit increased potency in comparison with that of erythromycin.
