Of all the Campylobacter isolates, 52.2\% were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 38.0\% to doxycycline. None of them was resistant to erythromycin or meropenem. However, 51.3\% of all Campylobacter isolates were intermediate susceptible to erythromycin (minimum inhibitory concentration 1-4 mg/l). These data confirm the value of macrolides as the drugs of choice for the treatment of severe Campylobacter infections.
