“…Campylobacters were most frequently detected in turkeys (65.3%) and meat thereof (11%) as well as in broilers (27.3%) and meat thereof (36.7%) [7], making the poultry food production chain the main source of contamination. This is in concordance to data from several reports [50,51]. The prevalence in retail poultry meat was, however, reported even up to almost 90% [50].…”

“…However, a limited number of highly contaminated products are most probably responsible for the majority of Campylobacter infections. Effective and harmonised surveillance systems, especially in the poultry food production chain, that are oriented towards categorising risks should thus be established [50].…”

Antimicrobial Resistance - A Global Threat

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Antimicrobial resistance in the food chain is currently a subject of a major interest. The excessive use or rather misuse of antimicrobials coupled with a poor hygiene in the food production chain has led to a rise of resistant zoonotic bacteria, commonly transmitted by food. They pose a serious threat to human health. Campylobacteriosis is the leading bacterial food-borne illness and most commonly reported zoonosis in humans in the European Union for more than a decade. Salmonellosis is most frequently diagnosed in food-borne outbreaks. Fluoroquinolones are considered as critically important for treatment of severe cases of both zoonoses in humans. Due to an extremely prevalent resistant isolates, especially from broilers and meat, also the treatment of human Campylobacter infections with fluoroquinolones has become compromised. Salmonella isolates from poultry and poultry meat tend to be highly resistant to fluoroquinolones as well. Beside the resistance to this group of antibiotics, the threat of multiple drug resistant (MDR) Campylobacter and Salmonella strains is discussed in the light of most recent reports of animal, food and human clinical surveillance systems.

Genus campylobacter including several species is of great importance that is considered among the major causative agents of acute diarrheal diseases in humans worldwide. The current study was carried out to determine the occurrence of thermotolerant campylobacters in broilers and to identify the macrolides resistance profiles of C. jejuni and C. coli isolates. A total of 568 samples (364 cloacal swabs and 51 of each breast meat, thigh meat, caecal part and neck skin) were collected from broiler chickens at slaughter age from local pluck shop outlets in Zagazig city, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The isolation rate of Campylobacter species from neck skin, breast meat, cloacal swabs, thigh meat and caecal parts samples was 25.5%, 27.5%, 29.3%, 31.4% and 41.2%, respectively. C. jejuni was isolated from cloacal swabs, skin, thigh meat, breast meat and caecal parts samples with the isolation rate of 55.3%, 53.8%, 43.7%, 50% and 80.9%, respectively. Forty-two campylobacter isolates (28 and 14 biochemically suspected C. jejuni and C. coli isolates, respectively) were confirmed molecularly depending on 23S rRNA gene. Furthermore, real time PCR targeting hipO gene specific for C. jejuni and glyA specific for C. coli were used. The molecularly confirmed isolates were evaluated they macrolides resistance pattern which revealed that all isolates were resistant to macrolides. Further studies on the mechanisms of macrolides resistance in campylobacters are essential.

The objective of this study was to investigate and summarize the levels of incidence of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Campylobacter spp. in poultry meat commercialized in Europe. After systematic review, incidence data and study characteristics were extracted from 78 studies conducted in 21 European countries. Pooled prevalence values from 203 extracted observations were estimated from random-effects meta-analysis models adjusted by pathogen, poultry type, sampling stage, cold preservation type, meat cutting type and packaging status. The results suggest that S. aureus is the main pathogen detected in poultry meat (38.5%; 95% CI: 25.4–53.4), followed by Campylobacter spp. (33.3%; 95% CI: 22.3–46.4%), while L. monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. present lower prevalence (19.3%; 95% CI: 14.4–25.3% and 7.10%; 95% CI: 4.60–10.8%, respectively). Despite the differences in prevalence, all pathogens were found in chicken and other poultry meats, at both end-processing step and retail level, in packed and unpacked products and in several meat cutting types. Prevalence data on cold preservation products also revealed that chilling and freezing can reduce the proliferation of pathogens but might not be able to inactivate them. The results of this meta-analysis highlight that further risk management strategies are needed to reduce pathogen incidence in poultry meat throughout the entire food chain across Europe, in particular for S. aureus and Campylobacter spp.
