Source attribution, prevalence and enumeration of Campylobacter spp. from retail liver

Campylobacter prevalence from retail liver (chicken, cattle, pig and sheep) was found to be 81%, 69%, 79% and 78% respectively. Molecular source attribution demonstrated that strains from chicken liver were most similar to those found commonly in humans. This provides further evidence of liver being...

Zusammenfassung:Campylobacter prevalence from retail liver (chicken, cattle, pig and sheep) was found to be 81%, 69%, 79% and 78% respectively. Molecular source attribution demonstrated that strains from chicken liver were most similar to those found commonly in humans. This provides further evidence of liver being a probable source of human infection. ► Raw retail liver samples in the UK have a high prevalence of Campylobacter (> 69%). ► The types of campylobacter in liver are typical to that found in the host species. ► Strains from chicken liver were most similar to those found commonly in humans.
