Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to isolate Aliarcobacter cryaerophilus in ready-to-cook poultry meat in Bangladesh.
Materials and Methods
Thirty drumstick samples were collected from super shops in Dhaka city (n = 10), Mymensingh city (n = 10), and Patuakhali town (n = 10). After sample processing, they were cultured in Blood agar media with Campylobacter base using a microfilter (0.42 nm). Suspected colonies were subjected to DNA extraction and PCR assay targeting 16SrRNA genes. Then, sequencing was performed for confirmation.
Results
Of 30 samples, 3 (10%) were positive for A. cryaerophilus. Phylogenetic analysis shows that our isolate has strong similarities with one of the isolates from China.
Conclusion
The presence of this organism in ready-to-cook poultry meat is a significant concern for consumers as it bears zoonotic importance.
