| dcterms.abstract | Thermophilic Campylobacter are a leading cause of zoonotic enteric disease in most
developed countries. In our country has an upward trend in human population. The
disease is usually indirectly transmitted to humans through the consumption of food
contaminated by faeces of infected animals. The aim of this paper was to analyse data
from Autonomous Province of Vojvodina about the prevalence of Campylobacter spp
in poultry meat production chain and risk for human illness.
In Vojvodina Campylobacter jejuni/coli was identified at farm level in 73.3% of
poultry samples, 66.6% calves samples and 58.3% pig samples of already ill or
suspected cases. Clinical manifestation of illness in birds can be expected if an
additional immunosuppressive factor is present. Artificial infection of healthy
chickens with 6.77 log cfu C. jejuni per chicken on day 21 of life leads to 5.26 log
cfu/g faeces after only five days, with a tendency to decrease during next 18 days.
Although chilling and freezing may significantly reduce Campylobacter
contamination of carcasses, it cannot completely eliminate the initial contamination
of live chickens. According to our experimental results the prevalence of
Campylobacter contaminated chickens from positive flock appears to drop from
100% live birds (with 3.02 log cfu/g faeces) to 50% of chicken carcasses.
Contamination of the carcasses depends on initial contamination of live birds, good
hygiene practices and good manufacturing practices. Therefore, a high variability in
contamination of carcasses can be considered; range from 11.43 to 90.00% carcasses
prevalence was established in various slaughterhouses in Vojvodina. In Vojvodina at
retail, Campylobacter was detected in 18.8% and 10.0% samples of fresh poultry and
other fresh meat respectively. Campylobacter is frequently found in whole poultry
meat production chain in Vojvodina region and represents high risk for consumers’
health. | En |
