Campyloblaceter
Treatment
C. jejuni infections respond to a variety of antibiotics. The most commonly used antibiotics are azithromycin (Zithromax), levofloxacin (Levaquin) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro). To slow down the diarrhea, your doctor may recommend loperamide (Imodium, generic versions) or other anti-diarrheal drug.
