The effects of sub-inhibitory concentrations (MIC 50 and MIC 25) of clindamycin, erythromycin and chloramphenicol on the adherence of Campylobacter jejuni to INT 407 cells were studied. The results indicated that the adhesion was inhibited at various extents, mostly by MIC 50, and that the inhibition increased with time. The interpretation of our data is that the antibiotics can interfere with the adhesin(s) synthesis.
