Campylobacteriosis is the most commonly reported bacterial foodborne disease in the European Union. Its transmission is often associated with the consumption of poultry meat. In 2018, Regulation (EC) No. 2017/1495 introduced a process hygiene criterion and with this, the testing requirements for . The results of microbiological testing for of chicken carcass neck skin samples from several slaughter lines in Northwest Germany collected by the food business operators and contamination levels (cfu/g ) of these samples were analysed from 2018 to 2021. Classification into three different categories was made based on contamination levels. The proportion of highly contaminated (category three) neck samples (>1000 cfu/g) decreased from 2018 to 2021. Our analysis showed a relationship between the number of neck samples with high contamination levels (>1000 cfu/g) and human cases in Northwest Germany. Spearman's rank test ( < 0.01) showed a higher correlation in 2018 (0.66) and 2019 (0.58) compared to 2020 and 2021. enteritis cases in Northwest Germany stayed at a low level in 2020 and 2021. It remains unclear whether the decrease in reported enteritis cases is related to a decrease in levels on chicken carcasses or due to other reasons like underreporting during the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore must be investigated in further analyses.
弯曲杆菌病是欧盟报告最多的细菌性食源性疾病。其传播通常与食用禽肉有关。2018年，（欧盟）第2017/1495号法规引入了一项加工卫生标准，随之也规定了相关检测要求。对食品经营商收集的德国西北部多个屠宰线的鸡胴体颈部皮肤样本进行微生物检测，并分析了2018年至2021年这些样本的污染水平（cfu/g）。根据污染水平将样本分为三类。2018年至2021年期间，高污染（第三类）颈部样本（>1000 cfu/g）的比例有所下降。我们的分析表明，德国西北部高污染水平（>1000 cfu/g）的颈部样本数量与人类病例之间存在关联。与2020年和2021年相比，斯皮尔曼等级检验（P<0.01）显示2018年（0.66）和2019年（0.58）的相关性更高。2020年和2021年德国西北部弯曲杆菌肠炎病例维持在较低水平。目前尚不清楚报告的弯曲杆菌肠炎病例减少是与鸡胴体上弯曲杆菌水平降低有关，还是由于其他原因，如在新冠疫情期间报告不足，因此必须在进一步分析中进行调查。
