Summary
This project will establish the capacity of laboratories used by the chicken meat industry in key areas linked to antimicrobial sensitivity testing. The capacities to be surveyed will include: A) the ability to isolate and identify key bacteria (pathogens and commensals); B) the capacity to perform standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing; C) any planned upgrade to those capacities. The project will provide a clear picture of the current capacities and any planned increased capacities to perform routine antimicrobial sensitivity testing.

Objective Summary
The project has the following aims: A) Identify all laboratories that provide isolation and identification of bacteria (both pathogens and commensals) services to the Australian chicken meat industry; B) Establish the capacity of the identified laboratories to identify relevant bacteria (pathogens and commensals); C) Establish the capacity of the identified laboratories to perform standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing of relevant bacteria (pathogens and commensals) by phenotypic methods; D) Establish the capacity of the identified laboratories to perform standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing of relevant bacteria (pathogens and commensals) by genotypic methods; Establish any planned increase in capacity of the identified laboratories to isolate and identify bacteria (pathogens and commensals) and to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing (both phenotypic and genotypic methods).
