Fluoroquinolone resistance was detected in 12 of 370 Australian human Campylobacter isolates; 10 of these were travel-associated, and for 2 isolates travel status was unknown. No resistance was found in isolates known to be locally acquired. In Australia, fluoroquinolones have not been licensed for use in food production animals, a policy that may have relevance for countries with fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter.
在370株澳大利亚人弯曲杆菌分离株中,检测到12株对氟喹诺酮耐药;其中10株与旅行相关,2株的旅行状态未知。在已知为本地获得的分离株中未发现耐药情况。在澳大利亚,氟喹诺酮未被批准用于食用动物,这一政策可能与存在耐氟喹诺酮弯曲杆菌的国家相关。
