Abstract
We studied the in vitro activity of ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and t etracycline against 130 C. jejuni and 12 C. coli isolates from 1982 th rough 1992 by agar dilution. Ciprofloxacin resistance was not observed and erythromycin resistance was low (2.0%). There was a high degree o f tetracycline resistance (55%). Erythromycin and ciprofloxacin remain effective drugs for treating campylobacter infections in our geograph ic area.
