The antibiotic susceptibility of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates from broiler chickens were determined in order to evaluate the level of antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter species in the Irish poultry industry.
Seventy-eight Camp. jejuni and 22 Camp. coli strains were examined for susceptibility to eight antibiotics using the disc diffusion assay. The highest level of resistance of the Camp. jejuni isolates was recorded to ampicillin (35.9%), followed by 20.5% to tetracycline, 20.5% to naladixic acid, 17.9% to ciprofloxacin, 10.2% to erythromycin, 2.5% to streptomycin and 1.2% to kanamycin. Multidrug resistance to two or more antibiotics was seen for 30.7% of Camp. jejuni strains. Resistance of the Camp. coli isolates was shown to ampicillin (9%) and tetracycline (18.2%).
The majority of Camp. jejuni strains were susceptible to antibiotics commonly used for human therapy. Camp. coli strains showed very low resistance levels and were susceptible to six of the eight antimicrobial agents studied.
Levels of Camp. jejuni and Camp. coli antimicrobial resistance in Irish poultry production was assessed to determine the current situation in Ireland. The prevalence of antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter strains isolated from broiler chickens was low.
测定来自肉鸡的空肠弯曲菌和结肠弯曲菌分离株的抗生素敏感性，以评估爱尔兰家禽业中弯曲菌属的抗生素耐药水平。
使用纸片扩散法检测了78株空肠弯曲菌和22株结肠弯曲菌对8种抗生素的敏感性。空肠弯曲菌分离株对氨苄西林的耐药率最高（35.9%），其次是对四环素的耐药率为20.5%，对萘啶酸的耐药率为20.5%，对环丙沙星的耐药率为17.9%，对红霉素的耐药率为10.2%，对链霉素的耐药率为2.5%，对卡那霉素的耐药率为1.2%。30.7%的空肠弯曲菌菌株对两种或更多种抗生素呈现多重耐药。结肠弯曲菌分离株对氨苄西林的耐药率为9%，对四环素的耐药率为18.2%。
大多数空肠弯曲菌菌株对常用于人类治疗的抗生素敏感。结肠弯曲菌菌株的耐药水平非常低，并且对所研究的8种抗菌药物中的6种敏感。
评估了爱尔兰家禽生产中空肠弯曲菌和结肠弯曲菌的抗菌耐药水平，以确定爱尔兰的当前情况。从肉鸡中分离出的弯曲菌菌株的抗生素耐药率较低。
