Campylobacter in poultry
Campylobacter is highly prevalent in poultry worldwide, including broilers, layers, turkeys, ducks, and geese, while causing little or no clinical disease. Campylobacter species are Gram-negative, motile, and non–spore-forming bacteria with a unique helical shape that changes to filamentous or coccoid as an adaptive response to environmental stresses. Campylobacter shedding by poultry varies by season, being highest in summer and autumn months. It is highly prevalent in commercial poultry and in chickens raised on organic or free-range farms, indicating that different production systems are equally vulnerable to invasion by this organism. Colonization of poultry by Campylobacter occurs primarily in the lower intestinal tract (cecum, colon, and cloaca). However, the organism can also be recovered to a lesser extent from the small intestines and gizzard, and infrequently from the liver, spleen, and gall bladder.
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...

Introduction Campylobacter infection is one of the most frequently reported causes of food-borne enteritis in Australia and worldwide (Kaakoush et al., 2015). Australia began a National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System in 1991 and since then, the number of cases of human infection has steadily risen to 137.5/100,000, in 20181. This incidence rate is higher than in many other parts of the world (Kaakoush et al., 2015) and it is estimated that only around 10%...
