| Popis: | Seventeen strains of Arcobacter butzleri and thirteen of Arcobacter cryaerophilus , were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility to 26 antimicrobial agents. Among β-lactams agents in this study, imipenem was the most active agent against both A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus isolates with MIC 90 values of 2 and 4 mg/l, respectively. The most active cephalosporin tested was cefepime, although it was more active against A. butzleri (MIC 90 8 mg/l) than A . cryaerophilus (MIC 90 64 mg/l). Levofloxacin, marbofloxacin, enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were the best-performing fluoroquinolones against these species. Of the aminoglycosides, amikacin was the most active agent against both A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus strains with MIC 90 values of 64 and 16 mg/l, respectively. All isolates showed high levels of resistance to penicillins, macrolides, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim and vancomycin. |
