# Commission Decision of 19 July 2007 concerning a financial contribution from the Community towards a survey on the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp. in broiler flocks and on the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in broiler carcasses to be carried out in the Member States (notified under document number C(2007) 3440) (2007/516/EC), Division 2.5.1: Detection of Campylobacter spp.

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Isolation and confirmation of Campylobacter organisms should be undertaken as described in ISO 10272-1:2006(E). At least one Campylobacter isolate per batch must be speciated using phenotypic methods as described in ISO 10272-1:2006(E) or published molecular methods such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques. The method used shall be indicated.
For quality assurance, a proportion of Campylobacter spp. isolates with a maximum of eight isolates shall be sent to the Community reference laboratory for Campylobacter for confirmation and speciation.
A proportion of those isolates shall be sent to that laboratory on a quarterly basis. If isolates are to be transported between laboratories, appropriate conditions (for example charcoal swabs) shall be used.
