| Abstract | ||||
| 50 fresh and frozen meat samples (25 of each) were examined bacteriologically for the presence of Campylobacter coli/jejuni. Intact gall bladder, liver and muscle samples were obtained from each slaughtered animal. The incidence of the isolated organisms from gall bladder and liver samples were 12% and 8%, respectively. While the organism could not be detected in any of the examined muscle samples. The two positive samples of liver for Campylobacter were from animals with positive gall bladder for the organism. One isolate of the organism was obtained from frozen meat samples. The significance of Campylobacter as a food borne pathogen was discussed. | ||||
