Abstract
ABSTRACT
Retail organic (
n
= 198) and conventional (
n
= 61) chickens were analyzed. Most organic (76%) and conventional (74%) chickens were contaminated with campylobacters. Salmonellae were recovered from 61% of organic and 44% of conventional chickens. All
Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhimurium isolates from conventional chickens were resistant to five or more antimicrobials, whereas most
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium isolates (79%) from organic chickens were susceptible to 17 antimicrobials tested.
