The occurrence of Campylobacter and Listeria monocytogenes was studied in 645 samples from surfaces, water, and poultry products (chicken carcasses, chicken parts, viscera, and spoils) in a poultry processing plant in southern Brazil. The automated mini-VIDAS system was used to detect the presence of Campylobacter and L. monocytogenes on the samples. The positive samples were confirmed by conventional methods. Campylobacter and L. monocytogenes were found in 16.6 and 35.6% of the analyzed samples, respectively. The sampling points with the highest Campylobacter incidence were intestine (63.3%, 19 of 30 samples), gallbladder (46.7%, 14 of 30), carcasses before evisceration (33.33%, 10 of 30), and carcasses after plucking (30%, 9 of 30). For L. monocytogenes, the majority of positive samples were from frozen breast (100%, 15 of 15 samples), frozen wing (93.3%, 14 of 15), fresh breast (83.3%, 25 of 30), fresh wing (80%, 24 of 30), skin of breast and leg (76.7%, 23 of 30), frozen leg (60%, 9 of 15), and fresh leg (50%, 15 of 30). |
