Thirty strains of Campylobacter pyloridis , isolated from Australia, England, Peru, and U.S.A., were studied. An agar dilution technique was used to determine the susceptibility of the strains to 13 antimicrobial agents and 2 antiulcer compounds. All 30 strains, regardless of geographic source, demonstrated identical susceptibility patterns. Strains were susceptible to 9 of the 13 antimicrobial agents: amoxicillin, cephalothin, doxycycline, erythromycin, furazolidone, metronidazole, nitrofurantoin, norfloxacin, and tetracycline. Strains were resistant to both antiulcer compounds (cimetidine and ranitidine) and to nalidixic acid, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, and the combination of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
