Occurrence of Campylobacterin Poultry Meat and Edible Offal’s in the northwest of Iran

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the most Common Cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in both developed Countries worldwide aim of this study was to detect and determine the Seasonal Prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in Poultry Meat and Edible Offal’s Using mPCR Assay. To conduct the study, a total of 552 chicken samples including meat (138 samples), liver (138 samples), gizzard (138 samples) and hearts (138 samples) were randomly collected from poultry slaughterhouses at West Azerbaijan province from April 2014 to September 2014. Based on the culture tests, 208 samples (37.7%) were infected with Campylobacter species. The highest range of Campylobacter species outbreaks was observed in poultry liver (49.2%), followed by gizzard (42.8%), heart (33.3 %) and meat (25.4%). Among the isolated Campylobacter, the Jejuni type was the most prevalent (78.4%) and the rest were of Coli type (21.6%). All 208 species of Campylobacter isolated as Jejuni and Colitypes from culturing were also approved by multiplex polymerase chain reaction test (m.PCR). The results of the study pinpointed to the chicken edible offal importance as a potential source of bacterial Campylobacter infections.
