    abstract = {This study was carried out to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of <I>Campylobacter jejuni</I> and C. coli from chicken livers sold for human consumption at public markets of Loja City, Southern Ecuador. Campylobacter sp. was isolated from 32 (62.7%) of 51 chicken liver samples. The 22 (68.8%) yielded C. <I>jejuni</I> and 10 (31.2%) C. coli. Among the isolated strains, high resistant frequencies were observed with ciprofloxacin (98.3%) and tetracycline (78.1%). Resistance to ampicillin and erythromycin was 25 and 12.5%, respectively. Multi-resistance (resistance to three or more antibiotics) was found in 9 (28.1%) strains. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to demonstrate the presence of Campylobacter species and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in foodstuff in Southern Ecuador.}
