Abstract;Contamination of poultry meat with Campylobacter through the processing was analysed by comparing the genotypes(PCR-RFLP) of the campylobacters isolated from breast meats(3 samples from each flock), wing meats(3 samples from each flock), and cecum contents(16 samples from each flock) obtained from 12 broiler flocks at a processing plant. Campylobacter was isolated from cecum contents of 6 flocks and from breast/wing meat of 8 out of 12 flocks. The isolates were classified into 11 genotypes. Campylobacter was not isolated from cecum contents but isolated from breast/wing meat of 2 flocks. All genotypes observed in the cecum contents were also detected from breast/wing meat of the same flock. However, Some genotypes observed in breast/wing meat were different from that of cecum contents of the same flock. These results suggest that Campylobacter harboring in a certain flock can contaminate not only the breast/wing meat of the same flock but also that of the different flock through the poultry processing.
