Cross-sectional survey reveals high bacterial contamination and drug resistance in retail poultrymeat, highlighting the necessity of proper cooking and hygiene.

Key Points

Determine the prevalence, species distribution, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Campylobacter and Salmonella isolates from retail poultrymeat.
Cross-sectional sampling of retail poultrymeat (N=2,104) collected across the UK between 2003 and 2005, spanning chicken, duck, turkey, and other poultry products.
Species characterisation of Campylobacter and serotype identification of Salmonella followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Campylobacter contaminated 57.3% of poultry overall, with highest rates in chicken (60.9%) and duck (50.7%), and C. coli isolates exhibited higher antimicrobial drug resistance (including quinolones) than C. jejuni.
Salmonella contaminated 6.6% of samples, peaking in duck (29.9%) compared to chicken (5.6%) and turkey (5.6%); turkey isolates showed the highest multidrug resistance rate (55.6% vs. 20.9% in chicken and 13.6% in duck).
