Growth inhibition of Compylobacter jejuni ATCC 33291 was observed in the presence of various preservatives at various temperatures. The addition of ethanol (0.5% to 5%), hydrogen peroxide (0.05%), acetic acid (1%), propionic acid, benzoic acid, and sorbic acid showed strong antibacterial activities against C. jejuni at pH 5.5 or 6.5. The addition of 1% acetic acid and lactic acid were most effective at $42{\circ}C, followed by $25{\circ}C$ and $4{\circ}C$. This indicated that the inhibitory effect was temperature dependent. In the chicken model system, the practical death rate of C. jejuni in the FBP-media with 1% acetic temperatures ($4{\circ}$C$, $25{\circ}$C, and $42{\circ}$). Therefore, precaution has to be taken in the use of organic acids as a disinfectant in the chicken slaughterhouse.

Compylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni infection in Korea has been reported in 1981, but the epidemiological information was lacking at the report. Therefore this study was undertaken to determine the Campylobacter carrier rate of the healthy Korean and of the Korean chicknens, and the antimicrobial susceptibity of the isolates from chicken. 129 stool samples from man and 296 fecal samples from chicken were collected and screened to determine the rates of Campylobacter carrier. Forty-four chicken isolates from Seoul and 30 chicken isolates from Iri city were examined the antimicrobial susceptibility. 1. The carrier rate in were examined the antimicrobial susceptibility 2. The isolation rates of the Campylobacter from Iri chickens were 50.3%. The highest rate was 76.3% on February and July, while the lowest rate ws 20.7% on March. 3. All of chicken isolates from Seoul and Iri were susceptible to amikacin and chromphenicol. 63.3% of the Seoul samples showed resistant to erythromycin.

Generally, carrier chickens contaminate the processing plant equipment to such an extent that negative chickens procell afterwards result in contaminated. meat. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of Complliobacter jejuni in two chicken procelling plants. Altogether two hundred samples were collected from cloaca, carcasses, chilling water, and evis-cerationknives at different processing stages during the period of June to September 1987. The isolated organisms were tested for distribution of biotype, serotype. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. C. jejuni was isolated from 41(34.2%) of 120 chicken feces, 9(45.0%) of 20 carC888eS before chilling, 11(55.0%) of 20 carcasses after chilling, 12(60.0%) of 20 eviscerationlmives. The evilceration knives and chilling water were considered as major means of croll contamination. 2. In biotyping 82 isolates of C. jejuni, 64(78.1%) were cl888ified as biotype I, and 18(21.9%) belonged to biotype II. 3. In serotyping 82 isolates of C. jejuni, 64(78.1%) were identified as serotype LIO 37, and 18(21.9%) were untypable.
