| Abstract;Before and after implementation of intensified sanitary control, swabs obtained from workers' fingers, live chickens, carcasses, products, equipment and transport vehicles in a poultry-processing plant were examined for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Isolation rates of S. aureus from live chickens, carcasses and equipment decreased markedly after initiation of sanitary control. In total, S. aureus was isolated from 89 (17.5%) of 506 samples. Various coagulase types, phage groups and antimicrobial resistance patterns were detected in isolates from workers' fingers. The same coagulase types and phage groups were found in isolates from live chickens, carcasses and equipment. The same antimicrobial resistance pattern was found in isolates from live chickens, carcasses and end products. Enterotoxins or isolates producing TSST-1 were detected on workers' fingers and on equipment. Enterotoxin types of isolates from workers' fingers were A (n = 3), B (n = 1), A + B (n = 2), C (n = 1), C + TSST-1 (n = 1) and TSST-1 (n = 1). Those from equipment isolates were A (n = 1) and A + B (n = 3). (author abst.) |
