Abstract

Objective: In order to effectively prevent and control diseases caused by Campylobacter, we aim to understand the horizontal distribution and quantitative pollution of Campylobacter species in the retail process of broiler chickens in Changchun area, and provide data basis for quantitative risk assessment of Campylobacter pollution in the retail process of broiler chickens. Methods A total of 240 fresh and refrigerated whole chickens were collected from large supermarkets and farmers' markets around Changchun City. Using plate counting method for bacterial isolation and cultivation, and multiplex PCR method for typing and identification of Campylobacter. Results: A total of 26 positive samples were detected from 240 specimens, with the detection rate of 10.8%. The detection rate of samples, which contamination quantity of Campylobacter was more than 500 cfu/g, reached 2.1% (5 /240). The positive rate of samples in the farmers markets was higher than that in the supermarkets. Conclusion This study investigated the contamination level of Campylobacter during the retail process of whole chickens in Changchun area, providing data support for the risk assessment of Campylobacter contamination in chickens. Remind government regulatory authorities to strengthen the hygiene supervision of live poultry slaughterhouses in the agricultural product market, and improve the risk assessment of Campylobacter in the field of food safety.
