Incidence and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling of Campylobacter in Retail Chicken Livers and Gizzards
Campylobacter was found in 67 per cent of the 202 chicken livers and gizzards tested sampled. A high level of resistance among C. jejuni and C. coli isolates recovered was found against some of the 16 antimicrobials tested.

Evaluation of an Alcohol–Based Sanitiser Spray against Salmonella on Egg Processing Equipment
An alcohol–quaternary ammonium sanitiser solution were found by researchers in the US to be between 100 to 10,000 times more effective than water in reducing Salmonella numbers when it was sprayed on stainless steel beakers and packer head brushes.
