Easy-to-use rapid test for direct detection of Campylobacter spp. in chicken feces.

摘要: Human campylobacteriosis is the leading cause of acute bacterial gastroenteritis in developed countries. One important source infection poultry. Results from Dutch Campylobacter Risk Management and Assessment project indicate that meat broiler flocks shedding $7 log CFU per g feces poses greatest risk transmitting campylobacteriosis. The objective this study was to develop a simple rapid test would identify chicken high numbers Campylobacter. We used lateral flow technology as alternative method, selected culture method according International Organization for Standardization guidelines. To evaluate under field conditions, we sampled either droppings at farms or cecal contents slaughterhouse. PCR confirm presumptive spp. colonies. Under laboratory containing $6.7 CFU/g jejuni $7.1 coli were identif...
