Distribution of different combinations of AMR in Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli human isolates from Kenya (top, n = 81) and poultry isolates from Tanzania (bottom, n = 97) in study of population structure and AMR in C. jejuni and C. coli isolated from humans with diarrhea and from poultry, East Africa, 2006–2017. The percentage of isolates resistant to each antimicrobial is given in the table to the right of each plot. All isolates were susceptible to gentamicin. The histogram represents proportion of isolates by antimicrobial resistance pattern. Black dots represent AMR and gray dots represent absence of AMR to the specific antimicrobial agent listed. Black lines join black dots to visualize patterns of AMR. AMP, ampicillin; AMR, antimicrobial resistance; Cipro, ciprofloxacin; Eryth, erythromycin; NA, nalidixic acid; SXT, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; Tet, tetracycline.
