Description
Summary:Numerous epidemiological data confirm the gravity of the food-born infections caused by thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. In Poland in 2004–2005 a monitoring study was carried out to detect the presence of thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. in poultry carcasses. In 2004, 385 and in 2005, 240 poultry carcasses were tested. Monitoring tests showed that in 2004 as much as 74% of poultry carcasses were infected with Campylobacter spp. The results of 2005 monitoring tests were very close to those in the previous year and 75.4% of all tested samples were infected.
