Sir,

Thermophilic campylobacters, particularly Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter lari, continue to remain the most common cause of acute bacterial enteritis in Northern Ireland, with ~743 laboratory reports per annum (equating to circa 44 cases per 100 000 population) and where the trend has been decreasing since 2000 (Figure 1).1 Previously, we have reported trends in antibiotic susceptibility in these organisms for the period 1980–2000.2 However, since 1999, we have noted a trend in increasing resistance (0.4%–11.3%) to erythromycin in . . .
