A reduction in Campylobacter spp. has been associated with use of commercial antimicrobial technologies during the processing of broiler chickens. This review is focused on commercial interventions that have received approval by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use on raw poultry in the United States. Most of these interventions are currently applied prechill. The limited number of publications on the topic suggests that the application of antimicrobials in commercial settings results in Campylobacter reduction of 1 to 2 log CFU/ml of carcass rinse. However, postchill counts of 0.5 to 1 log CFU/ml of carcass rinse (approximately 4,000 CFU per carcass) are still common. Thus, antimicrobial interventions are not a complete solution for the control of Campylobacter on raw poultry. New postchill interventions are needed, as are (i) improvements in the methodology for detection and enumeration of Campylobacter, (ii) additional surveys on the contamination of processed poultry, and (iii) an understanding of possible resistance to antimicrobials by Campylobacter spp. Research addressing these topics will lead to better control of Campylobacter in commercial poultry carcasses.
在肉鸡加工过程中使用商业抗菌技术已被证明可以减少弯曲杆菌属的数量。本综述重点介绍了已获得美国食品和药物管理局以及美国农业部批准可在美国生禽上使用的商业干预措施。这些干预措施大多数目前在预冷时使用。关于该主题的出版物数量有限,表明在商业环境中应用抗生素会导致禽体冲洗液中弯曲杆菌减少 1 到 2 个对数 CFU/ml。然而,禽体冲洗液的冷藏后计数(0.5 到 1 个对数 CFU/ml,约为每只禽体 4000 CFU)仍然很常见。因此,抗生素干预措施并不是控制生禽中弯曲杆菌的完整解决方案。需要新的冷藏后干预措施,以及(i)改进弯曲杆菌的检测和计数方法,(ii)对加工禽肉的污染进行更多调查,以及(iii)了解弯曲杆菌属对抗生素可能产生的耐药性。解决这些问题的研究将有助于更好地控制商业家禽胴体中的弯曲杆菌。
