Prevalence, enumeration, serotypes, and antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of salmonella enterica isolates from carcasses at two large United States pork processing plants.

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to characterize Salmonella enterica contamination on carcasses in two large U.S. commercial pork processing plants. The carcasses were sampled at three points, before scalding (prescald), after dehairing/polishing but before evisceration (preevisceration), and after chilling (chilled final). The overall prevalences of Salmonella on carcasses at these three sampling points,...
