In a two-year survey of the 24 Japanese broiler chicken flocks at 9 farms from 2013 to 2014, C. jejuni/C. colt prevalence was assessed in a total of 131 slaughtered broiler chicken cecal samples by conventional culture methods and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. While 93 samples were C. jejuni/C. coli-negative, 38 (29.0%) showed Campylobacter loads of between 6.4 and 9.0 log CFU/g of ceca in conventional culture methods. The performance of LAMP assay was 100% accurate in terms of diagnostic sensitivity (38/38), specificity (93/93). Furthermore, LAMP assay enabled direct screening of C. jejuni and C. colt in cecal samples from broiler chicken chickens as rapid and cost-effective detection within 90 min and less than 1 US dollar, which can help monitor release of Campylobacter-contamitiated chicken into the food chain, thereby reducing the incidence and public health risk of campylobacteriosis. Seasonal changes in C. jejuni and C. coli prevalence in broiler chicken ceca were significantly correlated with the frequency of food poisoning incidents caused by these bacteria in Japan.
