Multilocus sequencing was used to compare Campylobacter sp. strains isolated from retail chicken products and humans with gastroenteritis in central Michigan. Sequence comparisons demonstrated overlapping diversity between chicken and human isolates. Campylobacter jejuni isolates from clinical sources had a greater diversity of flagellin alleles and a higher rate of quinolone resistance than isolates from retail chicken products.

We report 16S rRNA sequencing of microbiomes associated with organic and conventional retail chickens (=31), processed via whole-carcass enrichment and rinse methodologies. Amplicon sequencing was performed targeting the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, which resulted with Good's coverage exceeding 99.7% of the libraries.

The significance of as a foodborne pathogen is increasingly acknowledged, but the assessment of its occurrence and transmission remains challenging due to the lack of validation of selective isolation, detection, and identification methods. The aim of the present study was to examine its presence on various meat samples at the retail level in order to assess a potential foodborne transmission and its occurrence in clinical stool samples. First, the evaluation and selection of a selective enrichment broth and isolation medium, combined with an optimized identification by MALDI-TOF MS, as well as a suitable DNA extraction method and a PCR-based detection strategy were developed.

Background: Ozone (O) is a promising alternative antibacterial agent that has recently been used in meat processing. The understanding of the appropriate functional settings of O for addressing food safety problems is still insufficient.
Aim: The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate the effects of exposure to O on the bacteriological quality of retail meat inoculated with at refrigeration temperatures.

From October 2020 to February 2021, a total of 95 retail chicken meat products from 39 retail meat shops in Tokyo Metropolis and Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, were collected and examined for the prevalence of Salmonella to assess public health implications. If a sample tested positive for Salmonella, a quantitative analysis was performed using the three-tube most probable number (MPN) method. Of 95 retail chicken meat products, Salmonella was isolated from 30 samples (31.
