From November 2005 to October 2006, 198 beef and 120 mutton carcass excision samples, and 232 chicken carcasses (whole and pieces) were randomly collected from different retail stores and meat-processing plants in Istanbul. TCS were isolated from 11.1%, 21.6%, and 50.4% of beef, mutton, and chicken samples tested, respectively. There was no significant seasonal variation in the prevalence of TCS. A total of 292\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Campylobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were obtained from the samples (56.5%\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">C. jejuni<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 33.9%\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">C.

Susceptibilities of 246 strains for eight antimicrobial drugs were determined using disk diffusion assay.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Campylobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were most often resistant to tetracycline (69.1%), followed by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (64.2%), nalidixic acid (58.1%), erythromycin (56.9%), enrofloxacin (48.8%), ciprofloxacin (42.7%), chloramphenicol (36.2%), and gentamicin (26.0%). The results of this study suggest that a high proportion of meat samples, particularly chicken carcasses, are contaminated by TCS, most of which are antimicrobial-resistant strains. Since campylobacteriosis is transmitted primarily through food of animal origin, the presence of antimicrobial-resistant strains in meat has important implications for public health and food safety.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,11]],"date-time":"2009-05-11T11:31:48Z","timestamp":1242041508000},"page":"143-149","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Thermophilic\n                    <i>Campylobacter<\/i>\n                    Species on Beef, Mutton, and Chicken Carcasses in Istanbul, Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Kamil","family":"Bostan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Ayd\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mine","family":"K\u00fcc\u00fcker Ang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6]]},"container-title":["Microbial Drug Resistance"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T20:25:26Z","timestamp":1777667126000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,6]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/mdr.2009.0894","relation":{},"ISSN":["1076-6294","1931-8448"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1076-6294","type":"print"},{"value":"1931-8448","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,6]]}}}
