Zusammenfassung: | Comparative and trend analysis was conducted on annual prevalence of antimicrobial susceptibility among
Campylobacter jejuni and
Campylobacter coli recovered from rural Egyptian children from 1995 through 2000.
C. jejuni and
C. coli demonstrated significant decreasing trends in ciprofloxacin susceptibility over the study period (
p < 0.001 for both). In general,
C. coli demonstrated a higher degree of susceptibility than
C. jejuni, however, there was no statistical difference (
p = 0.2) comparing the linear trends over the duration of the study. There was no indication of frank macrolide (erythromycin or azithromycin) resistance among any
Campylobacter. Moreover, there were statistically significant positive trends in both the MIC
50 and MIC
90 values for the erythromycin and azithromycin during the study period, suggesting a possible decreasing trend in susceptibility among
Campylobacter. This study demonstrated that antimicrobial susceptibility in
Campylobacter has significantly decreased from 1995 through 2000 among pediatric diarrhea cases in rural Egypt. |
