The present study was conducted for detection of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter jejuni isolates of
poultry origin in India. Highest (100%) antibiotic sensitivity was observed for chloramphenicol and
aminoglycosides (gentamicin, amikacin) whereas high antibiotic resistance was observed against β-lactam
antibiotics and fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, nalidixic acid and norfloxacin) in in
vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing and MIC determination as well. The gyrB gene which codes for
proteins responsible for fluoroquinolone resistance was detected in 100% of the isolates followed by gyrA
gene (95.34%). The gyrA gene-based phylogeny represented close homology of our C. jejuni isolates with
isolates from Europe and didn’t represent homology with isolates from India in public domain.
