Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates in the Capital of North Macedonia.

Background: Campylobacter infections are typically self-limited, but in cases with severe enteritis, immuno-compromised system and bacteremia, an appropriate antimicrobial treatment is demanding. Our study aim was to determine the isolation rate of Campylobacter among patients with acute enteritis in the capital of North Macedonia and its antimicrobial susceptibility.

Material And Methods: A total number of 3820 patients clinically diagnosed as acute enteritis, were included in the study.

Distribution of Ribotypes in Macedonian Patients and their Antimicrobial Susceptibility.

Background: is a major nosocomial pathogen. In Europe, this bacterium is mostly characterised by PCR ribotyping. Most of the infections (CDI) are treated with vancomycin or metronidazole, although prolonged antibiotic use is considered as one of the main risk factors for CDI.
