چکیده
INTRODUCTION Food-borne infections and intoxications remain one of the most important public health issues globally, both in developing and in developed countries. Numbers of reported outbreaks of food-borne diseases and diseased people are constantly growing. For instance, a total of 320,000 of cases of food-borne diseases, caused by only 6 most prevalent bacterial pathogens (non-typhoidal Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica and Brucella melitensis) was reported in the EU in 2011, but it has been estimated that the actual number of cases is Prevalence of Campylobacter contamination in broiler meat

Broiler meat can become contaminated with Campylobacter of intestinal origin during processing. The present study aimed to identify the prevalence of Campylobacter in broiler flocks and meat contamination at retail shops, and determine the influence of semi-automated and wet market processing on Campylobacter contamination of neck skin samples. Samples were collected from semi-automated plants ...

The demand for safe food has increased in the market in recent years. However, even with technological advances poultry meat is still susceptible to bacterial contamination. This study thus aimed to assess the microbiological quality of chilled broiler carcasses regarding the prevalence of Campylobacter spp., Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp. The study was conducted in poultry slaughterhouses o...
متن کاملCampylobacteriosis: the role of poultry meat.
The incidence of human infections caused by Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, the main bacterial agents of gastrointestinal disease, has been increasing worldwide. Here, we review the role of poultry as a source and reservoir for Campylobacter. Contamination and subsequent colonization of broiler flocks at the farm level often lead to transmission of Campylobacter along the poultry p...

This paper describes a new approach by which changes over time in the relative risk of human campylobacteriosis from broiler meat are evaluated through quantitative microbiological risk assessment modelling. Danish surveillance data collected at retail from 2001 to 2010 on numbers of thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. on Danish produced and imported chilled and frozen broiler meat were the basis...

The goal of these experiments was to evaluate the efficacy of different meat to broth ratios for the isolation of Campylobacter spp. from retail broiler chicken meat. The evaluation included 25 g of meat enriched in 100 ml of Bolton broth (1:4 ratio, subsample A), 50 g in 200 ml (1:4, subsample B), 100 g in 300 ml (1:3, subsample C), and 150 g in 300 ml (1:2, subsample D). For 29 samples, anoth...
