The main objective of this research was to investigate whether a single exposure of poultry tissues to concentrations of decontaminants used in commercial practice can increase the prevalence of resistance to clinically important antibiotics in natural E. coli populations. The antimicrobial effectiveness of such decontaminants and the antibiotic resistance profiles in E. coli isolates from poultry were also determined.

Fifty chicken legs were collected from carcasses immediately after they were eviscerated at a local poultry processing plant. Each leg was placed in a separate sterile plastic bag and transported to the laboratory in an ice chest, where samples were stored at 3  1 C for no longer than 5 h before being used
