This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Campylobacter spp. isolated from retail raw poultry meats in Iran. From July 2009 to March 2010, a total of 494 raw meat samples from chicken (n = 200), turkey (n = 170), quail (n = 86), partridge (n = 17), and ostrich (n = 21) were purchased from randomly selected retail outlets in Shahrekord, Iran. Using cultural method, 187 meat samples (37.9%) were contaminated with Campylobacter. The highest prevalence of Campylobacter spp. was found in chicken meat (47.0%) followed by quail (43.0%), partridge (35.3%), turkey (28.8%), and ostrich (4.8%) meat. The most prevalent Campylobacter species was Campylobacter jejuni (92.0%). The PCR assay could identify 38 Campylobacter-contaminated samples that were negative using the cultural method. Antimicrobial susceptibility test results showed that 98.4% of isolates were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents. Resistance to tetracycline was the most common findings (70.6%), followed by resistance to nalidixic acid (54.0%), and ciprofloxacin (49.7%). Significantly higher prevalence rates of Campylobacter spp. (P < 0.05) were found in meat samples taken in summer (51.1%). To our knowledge, the present study is the first report of the isolation of Campylobacter spp. from raw partridge meat in Iran. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
