    Author: Marjai E, Kováts Z, Kajáry I, Horváth Z.
    Journal: Acta Microbiol Acad Sci Hung; 1982; 29(3):213-5. PubMed ID: 7168372.
    Abstract:
    Gut samples from 50 nonselected slaughtered chickens were obtained in two poultry processing plants and cultured for Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella. Positive results were obtained in 84% and 4%, respectively. Viable C. jejuni and Salmonella were detected in every phase of processing, even during packaging for commercial purposes. Of surface samples taken from 118 slaughtered chickens prepared for delivery to consumers, 88 were contaminated by C. jejuni and 17 by Salmonella.
