This study was conducted to propose the use of a non-compliance rate for evaluation of the HACCP operational condition. We calculated the sectoral non-compliance rate from the HACCP prerequisite evaluation reports. This rate indicates vulnerability of the operational prerequisite conditions that must be improved to increase HACCP reliability for safe foods. The common weak point in the livestock products industry was storage and transportation management, and operating condition in butcher shops were worse than those for the other livestock businesses. In order to obtain better information on findings, evaluation items should be improved simply with one item for evaluation of one check point.

The antimicrobial susceptibility of the 41 Bordetella bronchiseptica isolates was tested by using the Kirby-Bauer agar disk diffusion method. The B. bronchiseptica isolates were found to be sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (100%), gentamicin (100%), neomycin (100%) and amikacin (97.6%), whereas they were resistant to streptomycin (100%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (100%), penicillin (100%) and ampicillin (97.6%). All the B. bronchiseptica isolates resisted to at least 4 antimicrobial agents and totally 8 different combinations of multiple antibiotic resistance patterns were noted. All of the B. bronchiseptica isolates, except one, were simultaneously resistant to streptomycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, penicillin and ampicillin. The observed antibiotic resistance is not plasmid mediated as plasmids were absent from all the B. bronchiseptica isolates.
