Antibiotic resistance among Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains acquired in Sweden and abroad: a longitudinal study.
Antibiotic resistance was compared in 844 Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains acquired outside Sweden and 575 acquired in Sweden during 1990-2002. There was a clear gradual increase in ciprofloxacin and tetracycline resistance among C. jejuni/coli strains acquired outside Sweden during the 13 y period. This trend was not seen for erythromycin or in domestically acquired strains for any of the 3 antibiotics tested.
