Summary

Campylobacter jejuni is one of the major causes of foodborne illness in the United States, and antibiotic treatment is recommended for severe infections. Every year, many people get Campylobacter jejuni infections that are resistant to the macrolide class of antibiotics. Careful use of macrolide antibiotics and strategies that reduce antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter in animals raised for food are critical for preventing macrolide antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter jejuni infections in humans.
