Abstract
Several antimicrobial agents used in selective media for the isolation of A rcobacter were found to be inhibitory to strains belonging to this genus. A ll three species tested were susceptible to colistin and rifampin at concen trations used in selective media. Arcobacter skirrowii was the most suscept ible species. 5-Fluorouracil, novobiocin, trimethoprim, and teicoplanin or vancomycin were found to be without any inhibitory effect on the strains te sted at concentrations described for the isolation of Arcobacter species.
