    Abstract
    The antimicrobial resistance profiles of Campylobacter isolates recovered from a range of retail food samples (n = 374) and humans (n = 314) to eight antimicrobial compounds were investigated. High levels of resistance in food C. jejuni isolates were observed for ceftiofur (58 %), ampicillin (25 %) and nalidixic acid (17 %) with lower levels observed for streptomycin (7.9%) and chloramphenicol (8.3%). A total of 80 % of human C. jejuni isolates were resistant to ceftiofur, while 17 % showed resistance to ampicillin and nalidixic acid, 8.6% to streptomycin and 4.1% to chloramphenicol. Resistance to clinically relevant antimicrobials such as erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline was 6.7, 12, and 15 % respectively for all food isolates and was similar to corresponding resistance prevalences observed for human isolates, where 6.4, 12 and 13 % respectively were found to be resistant. Comparisons of C. jejuni isolates in each location showed a high degree of similarity although some regional variations did exist. Comparison of total C. jejuni and C. coli populations showed minor differences, with C. jejuni isolates more resistant to ampicillin and ceftiofur. Multidrug resistance patterns showed some profiles common to human and clinical isolates.
