SUMMARYIn this study we examined 730 faecal samples of offal (mainly liver), mince-meat and sausage meat collected from abattoirs and retail butchers' shops for campylobacters.Campylobacter jejuniorC. coliwere isolated from 30·6, 10·5 and 6% of sheep, cattle and pig offal samples respectively. Specimens collected from abattoirs were, in general, more often contaminated than material obtained from retail butchers' shops. Only 1·4% of minced meats and sausage meats contained campylobacters. Most isolates (89·5%) wereC. jejunibiotype 1 (Skirrow & Benjamin, 1980) of serotypes 1 and 2 (Penner & Hennessy, 1980). This study shows that animal offal is frequently contaminated withC. jejuniof biotypes and scrotypes commonly isolated from human beings with campylobacter enteritis.
