Increasing resistance to antimicrobial compounds by the strains of Campylobacter spp. isolated from poultry has important implications for public health. The common use of antibiotics on poultry farms favors the occurrence and spread of resistance to this pathogen. As a result, humans who have not been subject to standard clinical treatment become more prone to diarrhea caused by Campylobacter strains. This paper describes the mechanisms affecting the resistance of Campylobacter spp. to selected antimicrobials (fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, aminoglycosides) both on poultry farms and in human individuals/consumers of poultry meat products.
