The prevalence of <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> species resistant to antimicrobial agents is increasing. This study is intended to determine prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> species among under-five children with diarrhea. <jats:italic>Methodology<\/jats:italic>. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 227 under-five children with diarrhea from July to October 2012 at Jimma town. Isolation and identification of <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> species were performed using standard bacteriological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed following standard protocol. Chi-square and Fisher\u2019s exact tests were used for analysis. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. From 227 under-five children, 16.7% were positive for <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp.; isolates, <jats:italic>C. jejuni<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>C. lari<\/jats:italic>, accounted for 71.1%, 21.1%, and 7.9%, respectively. Higher rate of resistance was observed to ampicillin 76.3%, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (68.4%), tetracycline (39.5%), chloramphenicol (31.6%), clindamycin (26.3%), and doxycycline (23.7%). Erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid were effective for more than 80% of the isolates. Multiple drug resistance was observed among 78.9% of all the three spp. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Isolation rate of <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. was high. <jats:italic>C. lari<\/jats:italic> was reported for the first time at this study area. Higher rate of resistance was observed to the commonly used drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/560617","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,12]],"date-time":"2014-01-12T21:02:11Z","timestamp":1389560531000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Isolation
