dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to determine Salmonella prevalence in chicken parts with and without skin collected from retail establishments in Atlanta metropolitan area (Georgia, USA). Retail packs (n = 525) of cut-up chicken parts (i.e., breasts and thighs with skin-on and skin-off, and drumsticks with skin-on) were collected from supermarket stores in five counties in Atlanta metropolitan area. The skin on and skin-off retail chicken packs by part type were paired by production company, plant numbers, and sell-by date. The skin from skin-on parts was removed and analyzed for presence of Salmonella; whereas the top layer of meat from skin-off parts was removed and analyzed for this pathogen. Additionally, Salmonella isolates were genotypically characterized. Salmonella prevalence in the skin of chicken breasts (44.7%) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in the meat (12.3%) of skin-off breast samples. Similarly, the prevalence was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the skin of chicken thighs (40.9%) than that in the meat of skin-off thighs (22.8%). Salmonella prevalence in skin of drumsticks was 41%. Among the 117 isolates characterized, eight Salmonella serotypes were identified including Heidelberg (46.1%), Kentucky (26.4%), Typhimurium (11.10, Infantis (5.1%), Seftenberg (2.5%), and Thompson (0.8%). High clonality of Salmonella isolates within and between chicken part type was observed. Skin-on chicken part may act as a greater source of Salmonella transmission to consumers compared to skin-off chicken parts. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. | en_US |
