England saw an increase in Campylobacter and Salmonella reports from 2022 to 2024, according to recently released information.
The data comes from the UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) first annual report summarizing infectious disease trends.

Recent surveillance data reveal that resistance to commonly used antimicrobials — such as ampicillin, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides— remains persistently high in both humans and animals for key pathogens including Salmonella and Campylobacter. Resi
Results of a French surveillance operation have been published, revealing the rate of contamination in fresh poultry meat at retail.
In France, Salmonella and Campylobacter are the two main bacterial agents responsible for foodborne infections, and C
Researchers have shown the significant impact and costs of Campylobacter infections from contaminated chicken in Australia.
Scientists quantified the cost of illness attributable to specific domestic risk factors for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylob
A rise in Salmonella infections in Sweden has been linked to the consumption of alfalfa sprouts.

Austria has reported more outbreaks and related illnesses in 2023 compared to the year before.
A total of 42 foodborne outbreaks were recorded, 14 more than in 2022. Also, 222 people were affected compared to 128 in 2022.
Germany has published data on foodborne outbreaks and infections for 2021, showing more than 130 outbreaks and a rise in most pathogens.
In 2021, 376 potentially food-related outbreaks (excluding norovirus) with 1,263 illnesses were reported to the R
According to a recent report, Campylobacter and Listeria infections have increased, but Salmonella and E. coli cases dropped in Ireland in the first three months of 2024.
Campylobacter infections increased from 700 in Q1 2023 to 733 in Q1 2024. Liste
Managing Campylobacter in chicken flocks and their meat is challenging, according to a study looking at surveillance methods in Europe.
Researchers compared the different programs for Campylobacter in broiler production across EU countries to identif
Changes to sampling requirements at low-throughput slaughterhouses are unlikely to result in a significant shift in the number of Campylobacter cases in the UK, according to a report.
Researchers did not detect a significant difference in the proport
Sweden has recorded an increase in Campylobacter patients with contaminated chicken suspected to be driving the problem.
In recent weeks, there has been a rise in people with Campylobacter infections. The spike in cases in late June and early July ca
Supermarkets in the United Kingdom have reported their Campylobacter in chicken results for late 2022.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) maximum target level is up to 7 percent of birds with more than 1,000 colony-forming units per gram (CFU/g) of Camp
Scientists have looked at a range of interventions related to Campylobacter in poultry meat.
The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Microbial Risk Assessment (JEMRA) reviewed recent data and evidence and provided scientific advice on control measures fo

Lidl has reported Campylobacter in chicken levels above the FSA’s target for the second quarter of 2022.
The supermarket chain recorded 8 percent of birds in the highest category which is up from 2 percent in the previous quarter and 6 percent in the
Modelling of Campylobacter in Sweden has indicated a 2-week time lag between human cases and broiler prevalence.
This suggests that the broiler prevalence two weeks earlier can partly explain domestic Campylobacter infections with transmission via ha
Research also suggests that chlorination, which is common in the US, does not have any significant impact on the safety of chicken and the prevalence of Campylobacter.
Antibiotic resistance in Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria is still high, says a report released today by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
