Abstract:
Chicken livers sold at grocery stores in Tucson, AZ, USA were examined for the presence of Clostridium perfringens. Results showed that 69.6% of sampled retail chicken livers were culture positive for C. perfringens. Genotyping of the isolates showed that all the isolates were type A, but were negative for the enterotoxin gene (cpe).
