چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Campylobacter spp. in packed frozen poultry giblets available for the consumers at Bulgarian retail market. The assayed samples included 58 packets of livers, 55 packets of gizzards and 40 packets of hearts, from different retail shops. The obtained results showed that Campylobacter spp. was isolated in 15.5%, 41.8% and 22.5% of the samples of livers, gizzards and hearts respectively. Campylobacter isolates from the liver was identified in 77.8% as C. coli and in 22.2% as C. jejuni. From gizzards and hearts the species C. jejuni was differentiated in 78.2% and 55.6% of the obtained isolates, respectively.
