In vitro activities of doxycycline and enrofloxacin against European Chlamydia psittaci strains from turkeys

Abstract

The in vitro susceptibility of 14 European Chlamydia psittaci strains from turkeys to the antibiotics doxycycline and eurofloxacin was tested. For doxycycline the MIC ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 μg/ml, with an average of 0.1 μg/ml. For eurofloxacin the MIC was 0.25 μg/ml. Acquired resistance was not detected against doxycycline and eurofloxacin.
