# 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), Part E: Reporting

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

Reports shall be made including at least the following information:
1.. Overall description on the implementation of the survey:
slaughterhouses: total number per country and the number that were sampled,
primary sample size realised,
description of the stratification and randomisation procedures,
description of the quality control activities, inclusive a report on the 12 MU estimations per laboratory for Campylobacter quantification,
overall results.
2.. Specific information with regard to prevalence data
Member States shall submit the results of the investigation in the form of raw data using a data dictionary and data collection forms provided by the Commission.
That data shall include at least the following information:
name/code of the slaughterhouse,
identifier of the slaughter batch,
name/code of the holding (farm) of origin of the slaughter batch,
holding size if known,
Salmonella vaccination status of the flock if known,
age of the broilers at sampling (slaughter),
information regarding if this was the first or a subsequent batch to be slaughtered from the flock (preceding thinning or not),
production type (i.e. conventional, free-range, organic),
results of previous Salmonella and Campylobacter testing in the same flock,
date of sampling,
number of birds slaughtered per year in that slaughterhouse,
type of chilling method used (air, immersion, spray),
details of transport protocol (as specified: Y/N),
date received at laboratory,
date of testing,
identification of the laboratory,
type of sample,
description of the culture methods used, in particular the selective medium/media,
Campylobacter isolate: Method used for speciation,
Campylobacter: result of the bacteriological testing, including speciation from the caecal sample,
Campylobacter: result of the bacteriological testing, including speciation and quantification from the carcass sample,
Salmonella: result of bacteriological testing and serotyping,
time between sampling and analysis (per 12 hour period).
3.. Specific information with regard to antimicrobial resistance testing of Campylobacter isolates of caecal samples.
The results of the antimicrobial resistance monitoring shall be assessed and reported, in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2003/99/EC, in the yearly report on trends and sources of zoonoses, zoonotic agents and antimicrobial resistance.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Annex IV of Directive 2003/99/EC the following information shall be reported:
origin of isolates i.e. baseline study, control programme, passive surveillance,
number of isolates susceptibility tested per Campylobacter species,
number of isolates found to be resistant per antimicrobial per Campylobacter species, and
number of fully-susceptible isolates and number of isolates resistant to 1, 2, 3, 4 and > 4 antimicrobials listed in Table 1 per Campylobacter species.
