Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of strains of Campylobacter coli<br /> isolated in Osogbo, Nigeria
Journal Title: Biology and Medicine - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Gastroenteritis due to Campylobacter species has just been established in Osogbo. There is a need to establish the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolates of Campylobacter. The study was done to determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns and Campylobacter coli isolate obtained from stool specimens from children with diarrhea in Osogbo. The strains of Campylobacter coli were isolated from 602 children between 0 and 36 months of age. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out. All isolates tested were sensitive to erythromycin, gentamycin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin whereas none was sensitive to contrimoxazole.
