Detection of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) at Different Processing Stages in Three Broiler Abattoirs.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) identified extended-spectrum β-lactamase/AmpC β-lactamase (ESBL/AmpC)-producing as one of the main priority hazards for poultry. Different studies detected ESBL-producing at broiler fattening farms and in abattoirs, concluding that poultry meat is a potential source of human infection. Broiler breast skin samples taken in three abattoirs with different scalding techniques were examined for ESBL-producing (.
