High-resolution testing has enabled better detection of high-risk salmonella serotypes, making researchers aware of changing prevalence of serotypes within breeding chickens and chicken products.
According to a new study from the University of Georgia, typical techniques of testing chicken from the grocery store may not be enough to detect all strains of the bacterium.
Poultry is responsible for more than one out of every five cases of salmonella infection in the U.S. But traditional methods of testing the chicken you grab off the grocery shelf may not be enough to detect all strains of the bacteria, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
