Metagenetic data and bacterial quantification of 310 Label Rouge broiler carcass samples

The dataset provides the 16S metagenetic data of sequencing of 310 Label Rouge broiler carcass samples, collected in a French slaughterhouse between 2023 and 2024. It includes 16S rRNA metabarcoding data from broiler carcass rinses before and after 7 days of storage at 4°C. Amplicons from the region V3-V4 of 16S rRNA were sequenced with Illumina MiSeq technology. The dataset also includes Campylobacter et Total Mesophilic Aerobic flora quantification on agar plates before and after refrigerated storage. The data were collected to identify bacterial species that correlate positively or negatively with Campylobacter on chicken meat.
