| Abstract: | Four of five strains of Campylobacter jejuni survived in chicken meat stored at — 18C for 12 months. Direct plating of samples was superior to the most probable number technique for enumerating C. jejuni. Enrichment culture using the Doyle & Roman enrichment method resulted in the highest rates of detection. Packaging under an atmosphere of CO2 did not substantially influence survival. |
