Antibiogrami termofilnih vrsta roda Campylobacter i Salmonella izdvojenih iz životinja lutalica, kućnih ljubimaca i divljih životinja na Trinidadu.

Campylobacter species isolated from wildlife (free-ranging or confined), stray and pet animals, and Salmonella spp. recovered from wildlife, were tested for their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Of the 191 isolates of Campylobacter tested, comprising 186 and 5 strains of C. jejuni and C. coli respectively, 21 (11.0%) exhibited resistance to one or more of the 6 antimicrobial agents tested. Resistance was highest to ampicillin (7.9%) and lowest to gentamicin and chloramphenicol (0.0%). Resistance to antimicrobial agents was highest among Campylobacter isolates from agouti (42.9%) and stray dogs (26.2%). Among the 54 Salmonella isolates tested, 50 (92.6%) each were resistant to tetracycline and streptomycin, 47 (87.0%) to nalidixic acid, 35 (64.8%) to kanamycin and 26 (48.1%) to neomycin. It was concluded that resistance to antimicrobial agents tested was low among Campylobacter isolates but comparatively very high among Salmonella isolates.Vrste roda Campylobacter izdvojene iz slobodno živućih i u zatočeništvu držanih divljih životinja, lutalica i kućnih ljubimaca, te vrste roda Salmonella izdvojene iz divljih životinja, pretražene su na osjetljivost prema antimikrobnim tvarima. Od 191 pretraženog izolata bakterija iz roda Campylobacter, od kojih je 186 pripadalo vrsti C. jejuni, a 5 C. coli, 21 izolat (11,0%) je bio rezistentan prema jednom ili više od šest upotrijebljenih antibiotika. Otpornost je najčešće ustanovljena prema ampicilinu (7,9%), a nije utvrđena prema gentamicinu i kloramfenikolu. Najčešće su bili otporni izolati podrijetlom iz agutija (42,9%) i pasa lutalica (26,2%). Od 54 pretražena izolata salmonela, 50 (92,6%) ih je bilo otporno prema tetraciklinu i streptomicinu, 47 (87,0%) prema nalidiksičnoj kiselini, 35 (64,8%) prema kanamicinu i 26 (48,1%) prema neomicinu. Zaključuje se da je otpornost prema upotrijebljenim antibiotskim tvarima rijetka u kampilobaktera, a vrlo učestala u salmonela
