title: [In vitro susceptibility of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli to quinolone antibiotics].
abstract: In this study, in vitro susceptibilities of 24 campylobacter strains isolated from fecal samples were tested for quinolone antibiotics. 13 of the strains were identified as C. jejuni and 11 of them were C. coli. Antibiotics which were included in this study were ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin and fleroxacin. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed on Mueller-Hinton agar (supplemented with 5% sheep blood) using the agar dilution method. Results showed that quinolone antibiotics are very active against Campylobacter species. There was not any marked difference between the susceptibility patterns of C. jejuni and C. coli.
