The main goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence of antimicrobial susceptibility of enterococci strains isolated from organic chicken meat as compared with conventional chicken and turkey meats.

A total of 90 fresh prepackaged skin-on drumstick samples were taken during 2005 from supermarkets and butcher shops: 30 organically reared chicken samples, 30 conventionally reared chicken samples, and 30 conventionally reared turkey samples. All conventional poultry samples were taken on different days and from different supermarkets and butcher shops. The organic chicken samples were obtained from five supermarkets (six samples per supermarket) with the supermarkets visited on different days.
