Abstract

Background: Antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter species is a serious food safety concern, and monitoring resistant isolates is crucial for risk assessment. This study aimed to examine the antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter species isolates obtained from samples of raw chicken meat, meat products and production work surfaces in slaughterhouses and production plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Results: The study included a total of 225 samples, 50 chicken meat samples, 50 samples of processed chicken meat (salami, chicken ham, hot dogs, chicken pates, cold cuts), 75 work surface swabs and 50 worker hand swabs collected from two slaughterhouses. After isolation (ISO 10272-2:2017) and identification (biochemical tests, Vitek 2), antibiotic resistance to three types of antibiotics was tested using the disk diffusion method (EUCAST). All isolates were susceptible to erythromycin, most were susceptible to tetracycline and all exhibited resistance to ciprofloxacin. No multiresistant strains were observed.

Conclusion: The study showed the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates resistant to the critically important antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Cessation of the use of fluoroquinolones in broilers would have a positive impact on the reduction of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter isolates in the chicken meat industry. This original research does not include samples from primary production, nor does it include genotypic characterization of antibiotic resistance genes, which would be important to do in future research in order to open new broader perspectives in the approached research area. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那鸡肉行业弯曲杆菌菌株的流行和抗生素敏感性分析。

背景：弯曲杆菌的抗生素耐药性是一个严重的食品安全问题，监测耐药菌株对风险评估至关重要。本研究旨在检查从波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那屠宰场和生产厂的生鸡肉、肉制品和生产工作表面样本中分离出的弯曲杆菌种类的抗生素耐药性。结果：该研究共包括225份样本，50份鸡肉样本，50份加工鸡肉样本（意大利腊肠、鸡肉火腿、热狗、鸡肉饼、冷切肉），75份工作台面拭子和50份工人手拭子，采集自两个屠宰场。经分离（ISO 10272-2:2017）和鉴定（生化试验，Vitek 2）后，采用圆盘扩散法（EUCAST）检测对3种抗生素的耐药性。所有分离株均对红霉素敏感，大部分对四环素敏感，对环丙沙星均耐药。未观察到多重耐药菌株。结论：该研究显示存在空肠弯曲杆菌和大肠弯曲杆菌分离株，对重要的抗生素环丙沙星具有耐药性。停止在肉鸡中使用氟喹诺酮类药物将对减少鸡肉工业中耐抗生素弯曲杆菌分离株产生积极影响。这项原始研究不包括初级生产的样本，也不包括抗生素耐药基因的基因型特征，这在未来的研究中很重要，以便在接近的研究领域开辟新的更广阔的前景。©2025化学工业协会。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture publishes peer-reviewed original research, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives and spotlights in these areas, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies at the agriculture/ food interface. Published for SCI by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) is a unique international forum where science meets business on independent, impartial ground. Anyone can join and current Members include consumers, business people, environmentalists, industrialists, farmers, and researchers. The Society offers a chance to share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and safety. As well as organising educational events, SCI awards a number of prestigious honours and scholarships each year, publishes peer-reviewed journals, and provides Members with news from their sectors in the respected magazine, Chemistry & Industry . Originally established in London in 1881 and in New York in 1894, SCI is a registered charity with Members in over 70 countries.
