Abstract
This study provides evidence of an association between CDT production by C. jejuni and pre-exposure to antibiotics. Pre-exposure to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin at concentrations below MICs could potentiate CDT activity. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism involved. We recommend that these antibiotics be used in the treatment of C. jejuni enteritis only when strongly indicated and with careful monitoring of patients.
