In this work sensitivity to eritromycine, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin was investigated on 16 (sixteen) strains Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli originated from broilers? coecum by use of dics-diffussion method and E-test. Out of 10 (ten) examined strains of C. jejuni, 1 strain (10%) was resistant to erithromycin, 5 (five) examined strains (50%) to tetracycline and 4 (four) examined strains (40%) to ciprofloxacine. Out of 6 investigated strains of C. coli, 1 strain was resistant to erithromycin (16,7%), 5 of investigated strains to tetracycline and ciprofloxacine (83,3%) (table 1 and 2, graph 3). Out of 16 (sixteen) investigated strains of C. jejuni and C. coli, 9 (nine) strains were resistant to ciprofloxacine (56,2%), 2 (two) strains to erythromycine (12,5%) and 10 of investigated strains to tetracycline (62,5%). nema
