Abstract:
Samples of fresh pork skin were inoculated with known numbers of a nalidixic acid-resistant strain of Campylobacter jejuni and sampled by two methods, swabbing and scraping, 10 min after inoculation to compare sampling methods. The effect of frozen storage of samples on detection was also examined. C. jejuni was readily recovered with swab samples while recovery of the organism was greatly reduced by the scrape method. Frozen storage of samples decreased the numbers of viable cells as compared to the fresh samples.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
