            <abstract>
                <p>Campylobacter species are the most important pathogens that cause bacterial
gastroenteritis being spread through food with animal origin. Given such fact, the current
study aimed at evaluating Campylobacter phenotypic and genotypic outbreaks in chicken
meat and its edible offal at West Azerbaijan province, Iran. To conduct the study, a total
of 552 chicken samples including meat (138 samples), liver (138 samples), gizzard (138
samples) and hearts (138 samples) were randomly collected from poultry slaughterhouses
at West Azerbaijan province from April 2014 to September 2014. Based on the culture
tests, 208 samples (37/7%) were infected with Campylobacter species. The highest range
of Campylobacter species outbreakswas observed in poultry liver (49/2%), followed by
gizzard (42/8%), heart (33/3 %) and meat(25/4%). Among the isolated Campylobacter, the
Jejuni type was the most prevalent (78/4%) and the rest were of Coli type (21/6%). All 208
species of Campylobacter isolated as Jejuni and Coli types from culturingwere also
approved bymultiplex polymerase chain reaction test (m.PCR).A statistically significant
difference (P 0.05) was observed in Campylobacter species outbreak in meat samples
taken in summer (40/9%). The results of the study pinpointed to the chicken edible offal
importance as a potential source of bacterial Campylobacter infections.
