It is essential to determine the current prevalence of Campylobacter and the distribution of its antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in NAE-raised broilers to develop effective mitigation strategies. The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of Campylobacter in conventional retail chicken, NAE retail chicken, and farm samples obtained from NAE broiler houses and to identify the antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes.
Retail raw chicken samples (whole chicken carcass, giblets, and drumstick) were randomly collected from 10 grocery stores within the state of Mississippi between April and July 2019. A total of 70 NAE-raised chicken samples and 90 conventional chicken samples were obtained. The samples were transported in a cooler with ice to the laboratory and processed within 12 h. A total of 254 farm samples, including litter (n = 103), feces (n = 74), and cloacal swabs (n = 77), were collected randomly from four commercial broiler farms under an NAE program in the state of Mississippi between April and July 2019.
