“…Copenhagen, and S. derby are three serotypes frequendy incriminated in outbreaks of human salmonellosis and are among the species commonly isolated from livestock (Pocurull et al, 1971;Green et al, 1982;Kirby, 1985;Murray, 1987); yet, the same three serotypes were isolated at an unexpectedly low frequency in the present study, with only one culture for each of the three serotypes being identified.…”

“…Rengel and Mendoza (1984) found Salmonella anatum, Salmonella bloemfontein, and Salmonella schwarzengrund most often among the 373 isolates of Salmonella representing 11 different serotypes isolated from carcasses in Venezuela. Green et al (1982) examined carcasses from 15 federally inspected processing plants in 1979, 10 of which had been examined in 1967. Comparison between the two surveys, in which similar methodology was used, revealed an increase in frequency of Salmonella contamination from 28.6% of the carcasses in 1967 to 36.9% in 1979.…”

Isolation and Characterization of Salmonella from Broiler Carcasses or Parts

1990

A study was conducted to determine and characterize Salmonella contamination on ready-to-cook broilers or parts in the Columbus, OH, metropolitan area. Ten to twelve samples per store were examined, using a whole-carcass rinse method. The Salmonella cultures isolated were tested for resistance to a series of nine drugs and, subsequently, were sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory at Ames, IA for serotype identification. Cultures identified as Salmonella were also examined for the presence of plasmids. Salmonella was isolated from one or more samples obtained from 11 of the 12 stores, and from 43% of the 142 samples examined. The serotypes isolated most often were Salmonella hadar, Salmonella heidelberg, and Salmonella johannesburg. Of the 55 cultures tested for drug resistance, 32.7% were sensitive to all nine drugs. The most-common patterns of drug resistance were triple sulfa (41.8% of the cultures) and tetracycline (34.5% of the cultures). Plasmids were found in 41.7% of the 36 cultures analyzed. The results of the present study indicate that the probability is high that carcasses from retail stores will have at least a few drug-resistant Salmonella cells.

“…In 1967, an FSIS survey of chicken eviscerating plants showed 28.6% of broilers to be contaminated with Salmonella; a followup survey was conducted in 1979 (Green et al, 1982). These data showed the Salmonella contamination rate in broilers to be 36.9%.…”

“…A study completed in 1979 (Green et al, 1982) showed 36.9% of chickens to be contaminated. But although the data on Salmonella contamination do not represent a new finding, media treatment of the issue, such as the "60 Minutes" television presentation in March 1987, did much to reinforce the public impression that Salmonella contamination of poultry is a new phenomenon and somehow related to a departure from traditional processing and inspection.…”

Assessment of Salmonella Contamination in Poultry–Past, Present, and Future

Recent publicity about Salmonella contamination in poultry and the report of the National Research Council (NRC) on poultry inspection have focused public attention on the problem of microbial contamination in commercially processed poultry. Despite the public perception that such contamination is a relatively new phenomenon, benchmark studies over the years indicate this is not the case. New solutions to the problem have been suggested by the NRC and others, but the fundamental nature of the problem has remained the same. Food Safety and Inspection Service programs to deal with the problem will need to be supplemented by efforts by other agencies and the industry and consumer sectors if significant public health gains are to be achieved.

Magnesium Sulfate Effects on Coliform Bacteria Reduction in the Intestines, Ceca, and Carcasses of Broiler Chickens

et al. 1992

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of MgSO4 on intestinal and cecal content reduction with subsequent effects on carcass weight loss and coliform bacterial counts in the intestine and ceca, and on the processed carcass. Four hundred and eighty broiler chicks, 49 days of age, were fed MgSO4 at levels of 0, 2.5, 4.0, 5.5, 7.0, and 8.5 g/L via drinking water 24 h before processing. Samples from the intestinal and cecal contents and swabs from the processed carcass surface were plated for coliform bacteria colonization. The results indicated that carcass weight loss was not affected significantly by MgSO4, irrespective of the levels fed. The mean dressing percentage of the treated chicks was 64.9% compared with 65.2% for the controls. Although the reduction in the intestinal contents was not significant, the coliform bacterial counts declined from 1.4 x 10(6) to 1.4 x 10(4), a reduction of 2 logs when the MgSO4 was administered at 5.5 g/L. However, both the cecal contents and coliform bacteria were reduced significantly when the birds were given 5.5 g/L of MgSO4. The reduction of the coliform bacteria in the ceca was significant when compared with the control, an approximate reduction of 3 logs. Also, the bacterial counts on the carcass surface were nonsignificantly reduced from 2.2 x 10(4) to 2 x 10(3), a 1-log reduction. Correlation coefficients showed that as the contents of the intestine decreased, the coliform bacterial counts in the ceca and on the carcass surface decreased.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
