Scientists have revealed how genes influence chickens’ resistance to Campylobacter. Their study, published in the Scientific Reports journal, also identified that when designing control ...

Trials demonstrate that adding biochar to chicken feed can reduce Campylobacter in chickens by up to 80 percent. This could lead to fewer foodborne infections in people.

Chickens are natural hosts for campylobacter and thus can be found in chicken meat if the flock is infected. In humans, it ...

Campylobacter is currently the most frequently reported cause of bacteria-induced diarrhea in Europe, including in Norway. Chicken meat is considered to be one of the sources of infection.

The immune response of farmed chickens does not develop fast enough to fight off Campylobacter during their short lifespan, new research has found. The findings have important implications in the ...

In total, 1,995 samples of fresh whole chilled chickens have been tested, data shows variations between retailers but none are meeting the end-of-production reduction target, said the FSA. The agency ...

‘Chicken juice’ – the liquid produced from defrosting chickens – allows Campylobacter to form protective biofilms and boost its survival in food processing sites, according to a study from the ...

Recently, the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed new performance standards for salmonella and campylobacter in chicken and turkey slaughterhouses. Both those bacteria can cause ...

Since the early 1990s, there have been many experimental studies on vaccination against campylobacter in chickens. Campylobacter is rarely, if ever, vertically transmitted so the target has to be ...

A potentially lethal food poisoning bug found in chicken could be driving a disturbing rise in late stage colon cancer cases, concerning research suggests. While red and processed meat have been ...

A study from the Institute of Food Research has shown that Campylobacter's persistence in food processing sites and the kitchen is boosted by 'chicken juice.' Organic matter exuding from chicken ...

Campylobacter spreads easily and has a low infective dose, which means only a few bacteria in a piece of undercooked chicken can cause illness, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) warns.
