The activities of 11 antimicrobial agents against 36 strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were studied by a broth microdilution method. All strains were susceptible to 7 of the 11 antimicrobial agents. Of the newer agents tested N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787) and rosaramicin had very good activity, whereas cefotaxime, moxalactam, and cefoperazone had poorer activity.
