Objective To explore systemically the extent and distribution of C.jejuni and C.coli contamination in food products, to establish and improve the surveillance network for food-born pathogens and to provide fundamental information for policy makers to work out related intervention program.Method Free markets in 8 cities and 2 counties were chosen as surveillance spots according to their geographic locations and their economic levels. Samples of 5 categories of foods were collected, including raw meat, raw milk, vegetable, eggs and aquatic products. According to the testing methods recommended by WHO and the national laboratory manual for monitoring food pollutants, samples were pre-enriched in Preston broth containing campylobacter growth supplement and specific antibiotics. Enriched broth was inoculated in selective agar CCDA plates. Suspected colonies were purified on Columbia blood agar plates. The isolates were Gram stained and tested by motility test, catalase test, oxidase test, hippurate hydrolysis and indoxyl acetate hydrolysis.Results 730 samples were examined and the overall positive rate was 5.34%( 39/730 ). 34 strains of C.jejuni isolates and 13 strains of C.coli were isolated. Positive rates varied in different categories of foods, with the highest (6.72%) in raw meats, followed by vegetables 5.88% and aquatic foods (0.95%). The pathogens were not found in raw milk and eggs. The highest positive rate among various raw meats 7.34%( 19/260 ) was found in chicken. Conclusion This study indicated that foods in Fujian Province were contaminated by Campylobacters in different degrees. Surveillance and management should be improved in the process of farming, slaughtering and transportation to prevent cross-contamination, outbreak and prevailing of campylobacters infection.
