摘要
The aim of this study was to detect and determine the genotypes of Campylobacter jejuni strains on turkey skin of eight turkey slaughter lots over a period of I year. Skin swabs (n = 258) were taken at the abattoir at different stages of the slaughter line. At the beginning of the slaughter process 76.7% of the turkey skins were C jejuni positive. Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to assess the genetic diversity of C jejuni strains at the different sampling points. Whereas a high diversity of C jejuni strains entered the slaughterhouse via the live turkeys, only a closely related subpopulation survived the scalding bath. Fecal recontamination of the avian skin occurred during defeathering and evisceration. The chilling process decreased C jejuni contamination on the turkey skin significantly and only 25.6% of the carcass skins remained C jejuni positive after 24 h chilling. Again, only highly related genotypes survived the chilling process, suggesting that C jejuni vary widely in their ability to resist environmental stressors that occur during slaughter and further processing.
