Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella recovered from processed poultry - (Journal of Food Protection®)

November 23, 2007 – 10:55 pm

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolates recovered from processed poultry. Four hundred eighty pre- and postchill whole broiler chicken carcasses were collected from a poultry processing plant between July 2004 and June 2005. Water samples also were collected at the entrance and exit of the chiller. After preenrichment, carcass and water samples were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella using the automated BAX system followed by traditional culture methods.
The proportions of pre- and postchill carcasses that were positive for Salmonella were 88.4 and 84.1%, respectively. Ninety-two percent of water samples collected at the entrance of the chiller were positive for Salmonella , but all exit samples were negative. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of Salmonella between pre- and postchill carcasses ( P > 0.05). Salmonella isolates recovered were serotyped and tested for susceptibility to antimicrobials.
Thirteen serotypes […]
