SUMMARYTo determine methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in poultry and slaughterhouse personnel, 40 Dutch broiler flocks, in six slaughterhouses and 466 personnel were sampled. Of the employees, 26 were positive (5 . 6 %), indicating a higher risk of exposure when compared to the general Dutch population (0 . 1 %). This risk was significantly higher for personnel having contact with live animals (5 . 2 %) -especially hanging broilers on the slaughterline (20 . 0%) -than for all other personnel (1 . 9 %). Conventional electric stunning conferred a significantly higher risk of MRSA carriage for employees than CO 2 stunning (9 . 7% vs. 2 . 0%). A total of 405 broilers were sampled upon their arrival at the slaughterhouse, of which 6 . 9% were positive. These broilers originated from 40 Dutch slaughter flocks of which 35 . 0% were positive. MRSA contamination in the different compartments of slaughterhouses increased during the production day, from 8 % to 35 %. Of the 119 MRSA isolates, predominantly livestock-associated MRSA ST398 was found, although 27 . 7 % belonged to ST9 (spa type t1430). There is an increased risk of MRSA carriage in personnel working at broiler slaughterhouses, particularly those having contact with live animals.

“…Little is known about the prevalence of MRSA in chicken meat. In Germany and the Netherlands, MRSA was detected in 25% and 16% of raw chicken meat samples, respectively (De Boer et al, 2009;Fessler et al, 2011), whereas in 2014, only 1% of Swiss poultry meat, but 16% of imported was contaminated with MRSA (Müntener and Overesch, 2015). These data suggest that different types of ESBL and MRSA are present to varying degrees in chicken meat in different countries.…”

This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence and genetic characteristics of extended spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 80 samples of Swiss (n=36) and imported (n=44) raw chicken meat collected at retail level. In addition, ESBLproducers were screened for the presence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1. Countries of import included Argentina (n=2), Austria (n=1), Brazil (n=3), Denmark (n=5), France (n=1), Germany (n=13), Hungary (n=5), Italy (n=8), and Slovenia (n=6). Forty ESBL-producing E. coli strains were isolated from 33 (41.3%) of the 80 samples, comprising seven (19.4%) of the Swiss and 26 (59%) of the imported samples. The most common blaESBL among the isolates were blaCTX-M-1 (n=14) and blaSHV-12 (n=16). Other genes comprised blaTEM-52 (n=4), blaCTX-M-2 (n=3), blaCTX-M-8 (n=1), blaCTX-M-14 (n=1) and a novel blaCTX-M-14-like variant (n=1). Two ESBL-producers isolated from samples from Germany (n=1) and Italy (n=1) tested additionally positive for the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1. Six (7.5%) samples, all imported from Germany, were found to contain MRSA. Three isolates belonged to the livestock-associated CC398-MRSA-V-t034, and 3 to CC9-MRSA-IV-t13177, described here for the first time in chicken meat.

“…Turkey, however, lacks information on antimicrobial resistance profiles, resistance gene distribution, and incidence of some bacteria such as enterococci, coagulase negative staphylococci, and Staphylococcus aureus from poultry. As a result, antibiotics are used unconsciously to protect chickens against infections and it is observed that the level of antibiotic resistance has been rising more and more (de Boer et al 2009;Kasimoglu-Dogru et al 2010).…”

Yurdakul N.E., Erginkaya Z., Ünal E. (2013): Antibiotic resistance of enterococci, coagulase negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus isolated from chicken meat. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 14-19.We determined the antibiotic resistance of enterococci, coagulase negative staphylococci, and Staphylococcus aureus isolated from chicken meat samples. The antibiotic resistance of the isolated strains was estimated by the KirbyBauer disk diffusion method (according to the NCCLS document M2-A9 suggestions). It was found that all strains of Enterococcus spp. were resistant to tetracycline, 75% of them were resistant to ciprofloxacin, and 50% of them were resistant to erythromycin, vancomycin, and chloramphenicol. Also all strains of S. aureus were resistant to tetracycline and 25% of S. aureus strains were resistant to erythromycin and chloramphenicol, whereas all strains of S. aureus were sensitive to teicoplanin and 25% of them were sensitive to vancomycin and ciprofloxacin. As for the isolate of coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), 68.1% of them were resistant to erythromycin, 77.2% of them were resistant to tetracycline, 59% of them were resistant to vancomycin, 9% of them were resistant to teicoplanin, and 27.2% of them were resistant to both chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. As a result, it was found that most of the strains (all of S. aureus and Enterococcus spp., also 77.2% CNS) were resistant to tetracycline.
