Description

This tender is to commission work on the design and execution of a pilot surveillance study covering England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland on AMR in Campylobacter spp. on fresh/frozen chicken sold at retail/wholesale and AMR in Salmonella spp. on fresh/frozen minced pork sold at retail / wholesale. In addition, selected commensal organisms (e.g. Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp. and Klebsiella spp.) will also be included in this study as AMR is not an issue restricted to pathogens. Additional samples will also be taken in Scotland. The study will be representative of all four countries using market share data.
