A Michigan State University-led research team has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a rapid biosensor test for foodborne pathogens, with a focus on Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry.

A recent study has demonstrated the potential of competitive exclusion cultures in controlling Campylobacter jejuni in broiler chickens.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) have announced a call for experts on the control of Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry meat to participate in the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Microbiological Risk Assessment.
