Özet

This study measured the percentage of thermotolerant Campylobacters (C. jejuni and C. coli) from samples obtained from a turkey slaughterhouse in Turkey and investigated their antimicrobial resistance to selected antimicrobials by disc diffusion method. Of 28 samples analyzed, 75% were positive for Campylobacter. Positivity in turkey cecum samples was 28.5% for C. coli and 71.4% for C. jejuni. Very high antimicrobial resistance rates were detected for ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid while resistance to tetracycline was 100% for C. jejuni strains. No isolates showed multidrug resistance, or resistance to gentamicin or erythromycin. These results can provide information about the status of C. coli and C. jejuni resistant to fluoroquinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides and tetracycline isolated from food animals in Turkey.
