Chicken is globally one of the most popular food animals. However, it is also one of the major reservoirs for foodborne pathogens, annually resulting in continued morbidity and mortality incidences worldwide. In an effort to reduce the threat of foodborne disease, the poultry industry has implemented a multifaceted antimicrobial program that incorporates not only chemical compounds, but also extensive amounts of water application and pathogen monitoring. Unfortunately, the pathogen detection methods currently used by the poultry industry lack speed, relying on microbiological plate methods and molecular detection systems that take time and lack precision. In many cases, the time to data acquisition can take 12 to 24 h. This is problematic if shorter-term answers are required which is becoming more likely as the public demand for chicken meat is only increasing, leading to new pressures to increase line speed. Therefore, new innovations in detection methods must occur to mitigate the risk of foodborne pathogens that could result from faster slaughter and processing speeds. Future technology will have 2 tracks: rapid methods that are meant to detect pathogens and indicator organisms within a few hours, and long-term methods that use microbiome mapping to evaluate sanitation and antimicrobial efficacy. Together, these methods will provide rapid, comprehensive data capable of being applied in both risk-assessment algorithms and used by management to safeguard the public.

家禽加工和微生物组图谱的应用。


鸡肉是全球最受欢迎的食用动物之一。然而，它也是食源性病原体的主要储存库之一，每年导致全世界持续发病和死亡。为了减少食源性疾病的威胁，家禽业实施了多方面的抗菌计划，不仅包括化学化合物，还包括大量的水应用和病原体监测。不幸的是，家禽业目前使用的病原体检测方法缺乏速度，依赖于微生物平板方法和分子检测系统，耗时且缺乏精度。在许多情况下，数据采集时间可能需要 12 至 24 小时。如果需要短期答案，那么这就存在问题，随着公众对鸡肉的需求不断增加，这种情况变得更有可能，从而导致提高生产线速度的新压力。因此，必须在检测方法上进行新的创新，以降低更快的屠宰和加工速度可能导致的食源性病原体的风险。未来的技术将有两个轨道：旨在在几个小时内检测病原体和指示生物的快速方法，以及使用微生物组图谱来评估卫生和抗菌功效的长期方法。这些方法将共同提供快速、全面的数据，这些数据能够应用于风险评估算法，并由管理层用来保护公众。
