Description

Tenders are invited to carry out a survey, with methods in line with the EU harmonised survey of AMR, to examine the rates of Salmonella and E. coli in frozen, part-cooked breaded and battered poultry products on retail sale within the UK. Isolates of E. coli should additionally undergo testing for AMR phenotypes, in line with those tested for in the EU harmonised surveys. It would be advantageous, but not essential, that isolates of Salmonella also undergo whole genome sequencing (WGS) and screening for AMR associated genes.
