Antibiotic Resistance Profiles and Molecular Mechanisms of From Chicken and Pig in China.

The purpose of this research was to characterize the antibiotic resistance profiles of spp. derived from chicken and pig feces collected from farms in Jiangsu Province, China, and to analyze the relevant resistance mechanisms among antimicrobial-resistant spp. isolates.

Expression of the Campylobacter jejuni FliD protein and its reaction to chicken sera.

Campylobacter is a leading causative pathogen of acute bacterial gastroenteritis among humans. Contaminated chicken products are regarded as major sources of human infection. The flagellar capping protein (FliD), which plays important roles in colonization and adhesion to the mucosal surface of chicken ceca, is conserved among Campylobacter jejuni strains.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Throughout the Slaughter Process of Different Broiler Batches.

Handling and consumption of chicken meat are risk factors for human campylobacteriosis. This study was performed to describe the population in broiler carcasses and environmental samples throughout the slaughter process. Moreover, the genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance of the strains were evaluated.
