Abstract
Campylobacter species are known as agents of enteritis worldwide. Of particular interest is Campylobacter jejuni which accounts for about 90 of all Campylobacter infection. C. jejuni is also responsible for sequelae-like infections such as Reiter;s and Guillain-Barre syndromes which are fatal. Data on antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter jejuni isolates from ducks is scare and such data is lacking in Malaysia. The objective of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter jejuni isolates from ducks in Penang Malaysia. Resistant to cephalothin 99 was the most common finding followed by tetracycline 96 suphamethoxazole/trimethoprim 96 nalidixic acid 84 ampicillin 81 norfloxacin 80 and ciprofloxacin 76. Susceptibility of C. jejuni isolates was high for gentamicin 89/94 chloramphenicol 84/94 and erythromycin 83/94. 49 and 34 of the isolates exhibited intermediates to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone respectively. C. jejuni isolates were resistant to one or more of the antibiotics examined. Our finding is essential for epidiomolgical studies to monitor changes that may occur over time and for developing effective risk management strategies.
