Fèvre, Barbara HäslerCampylobacter culture results for samples collected from small-scale chicken (broiler and indigenous chickens) farms (i.e. faeces samples) and from small-scale chicken meat retailers (i.e. fresh or defrosted chicken meat) in Nairobi, Kenya.
Chicken faeces were collected using one pair of boot socks per farm; 3 raw chicken meat samples were purchased per retailer. Samples were cultured for viable Campylobacter spp. using mCCDA, followed by blood agar plates in aerobic/microaerobic conditions for prevalence calculations.
Using a chicken farm or retailer as a sampling unit, a site with one or more positive samples on culture classified as positive for Campylobacter spp. A sample was considered positive if at least one isolate was obtained and comfirmed by culture.
