Campylobacter in poultry
Welcome to the page about Campylobacter in poultry of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Campylobacter in poultry.
I. Introduction Eggs are an affordable raw agricultural commodity with a high nutrient density. Eggs serve a key role in diets around the world. Maintaining the quality of eggs is a worldwide concern. Generally, there are three types of egg quality: 1) physical, 2) functional, and 3) microbial. During this presentation, all three types of egg quality will be discussed and factors which influence egg quality characteristics will be explained. Understanding the types of egg quality, as...

CDC has reported the major cause of bacterial foodborne illness in the U.S. is Campylobacter jejuni. We are only beginning to understand the epidemiology of Campylobacter. Understanding this and the unique characteristics of Campylobacter will help us develop on farm Campylobacter reduction programs for broiler...
Salmonella is a leading bacterial cause of foodborne illness, with ~17% of salmonellosis cases attributed to broilers. Conventional Salmonella isolation procedures involve characterizing a single colony per positive sample. As such, these methods favor the most abundant serovar found in a sample, potentially allowing other serovars to remain undetected. CRISPR-SeroSeq is a novel, high-resolution sequencing approach that can detect and quantify the relative frequency of multiple serovars...

INTRODUCTION Poultry and poultry products represent a popular choice of protein in the United States, with increasingly high consumption rates over the past years (Zhang et al., 2018). Poultry meat has surpassed both pork and beef in per capita consumption in the United States (USDA Economic Research Service, 2020). With this increased consumption of poultry and poultry products, there is a significant concern for contamination, thus impacting public health. Salmonella and...
I. INTRODUCTION Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) is characterised by increased mortality, particularly around the time of peak egg production, the occurrence of multiple grey/white lesions in the liver, and reduction in egg output. It is caused by Campylobacter hepaticus (Van et al., 2016), which responds to therapeutic antibiotics, although resistance has been reported (Grimes and Reece, 2011). In this study, the ability of a feed-additive containing a standardised blend of...
INTRODUCTION Salmonella and Campylobacter continue to be pathogens of concern associated with poultry and poultry products, which raise a public health issue globally (Antunes et al., 2016). As per the foodborne illness source estimation reports for 2016, Salmonella and Campylobacter are responsible for about 18 and 64% of poultry-related foodborne illnesses in the United States, respectively (IFSAC, 2018). With the increasing episodes of illnesses because of these pathogens,...
INTRODUCTION Poultry are important Campylobacter reservoirs, with 50 to 70% of human infections related with food preparation flaws and the consumption of poultry products (FAO/WHO, 2001). Campylobacter is frequently detected in the digestive tract of poultry, and particularly of broilers older than three weeks of age, rapidly disseminating until market age (Stern & Robach, 1995; Jacobs-Reitsma, 1995). Campylobacter incidence in broilers may be related to management...
INTRODUCTION With the introduction of selective media that could be routinely employed for isolation, Campylobacter was identified as a critical clinical pathogen associated with the gastrointestinal tract (GIT; On, 2001; Butzler, 2004). By the mid to late 1980s, Campylobacter had been recognized as one of the most common bacterial agents causing gastroenteritis worldwide (Allos, 2001; Domingues et al., 2012; Geissler et al., 2017). Currently, Campylobacter is considered one of...
INTRODUCTION According to the World Health Organization, Campylobacter is a leading cause of the diarrheal disease (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). The genus Campylobacter is comprised of over 20 species. Strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are generally considered some of the more significant concerns among foodborne pathogens for human health (Korczak et al., 2006; Havelaar et al., 2012; World Health Organization [WHO], 2018; Centers for Disease...
INTRODUCTION Campylobacter spp. is well recognized as the leading cause of bacterial foodborne diarrheal disease and poses a serious economical and health risk globally (Skanseng et al., 2010; Silva et al., 2011; Meunier et al., 2015). The most common route of campylobacteriosis infection in humans is the handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat (Lee and Newell, 2006). Campylobacter spp. is a commensal organism found in cattle, sheep, swine, wildlife, and domestic...
Campylobacter spp . is one of the most frequent causes of foodborne gastroenteritis having zoonotic importance, and the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Campylobacter spp. is of particular concern to public health. These potential AMR Campylobacter spp . could be transferred to humans through animal food, particularly chickens (Reddy and Zishiri, 2017). The present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of AMR Campylobacter spp . and their antibiotic...

Properly cooking poultry products is key to avoiding bacterial infections such as Campylobacter, so there are concerns that the recent popularity of undercooked chicken livers, often served as a pâté, could lead to foodborne illnesses.
Poultry scientists are curious whether the same concern is relevant for turkey livers—an important question as turkey consumption continues to grow in the United States.
To better...
INTRODUCTION The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated there are approximately 48 million cases of foodborne illness in the United States annually (Elaine et al., 2011a, 2011b). Salmonella and Campylobacter are the most frequently reported bacterial causes of poultry-related foodborne illness (Heyndrickx et al., 2002; Mead, 2002) because of their association with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of chickens...

INTRODUCTION
Campylobacter is a leading cause of human gastroenteritis in the United States and worldwide (Corcionivoschi et al., 2012; Sibanda et al., 2018). In the United States alone, the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention (CDC) estimates an annual 1.3 million cases occurring per year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018). From 1999 to 2008, Campylobacter was estimated to cause an annual 8,463 hospitalizations and 76 deaths in the...

I. INTRODUCTION Campylobacter hepaticus currently causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry, as it is the cause of spotty liver disease (SLD) in chickens (Van et al., 2016, 2017a). The clinical manifestations of SLD include the formation of gray/white lesions in the liver, an increase in mortality rate in a flock, and reduction in egg production. It has been sporadically reported over the last 60 years, first from the United States, then in other countries,...
Chicken meat is a common meat in Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia and it is sold both in fresh and frozen forms. Fresh carcasses are usually from local producers while frozen carcasses are supplied from other regencies (administrative entities). Fresh carcasses are generally sold in traditional markets and frozen carcasses sold in both traditional markets and supermarkets.
Chicken meat is an ideal medium for many microorganisms especially pathogenic bacteria which lead to spoilage...
New research from North Carolina State University has found that Campylobacter bacteria persist throughout poultry production – from farm to grocery shelves – and that two of the most common strains are exchanging...
