Ocorrência de Listeria spp. em carne crua de frango no mercado da cidade de Belo Horizonte-MG

Resumo

Ninety broiler meat samples (30 carcasses, 30 breasts and 30 broiler thighs) were analyzed in order to detect Listeria spp. These samples (30 freezed and 60 chiIJed) represented 20 commercial labels of broiler meat and were picked from 42 commercial establishments (supermarkets, butcheries, etc.) distributed in five regions of the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Toe occurence found of Listeria spp was 100%, being 4.4% of L. monocytogenes and 98.9% of L. innocua. There was not a significant associat1on (P>0.05) between the type of broiler parts, the refrigeration method and contamination by Listeria monocytogenes,but there was a significantly higher occurence (P< 0.05) in the poorest regions, which suggests that lower hygiene conditions during storing and manipulation of broiler mcat may be reponsible for higher occurence of L. monocytogenes.
