“…Enclosure features, the semi-aquatic habitats of the animals, and feeding them with bovine viscera may favor bacterial infection. Fernandez et al (2015) investigated the frequency of A. butzleri in animals and food samples in southern Chile. While 10.7% of fecal samples were positive, the frequency of chicken meat contamination was 72%.…”

The aim of this study was to perform the identification and molecular characterization of Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter butzleri isolated from caiman (Caiman yacare), kept at a production farm, in Brazil. Forty fecal samples were analyzed. After isolation and identification, 21/40 strains of A. butzleri and 19/40 strains of A. cryaerophilus were subjected to PCR for potential virulence gene detection. The results of the PCR showed 38/40 strains positive for the cadF, cj1349, ciaB, and tlyA genes, 39/40 strains positive for the pldA gene, and 40/40 strains positive for the mviN gene. None of the strains presented the irgA gene. Hemagglutinin (hecA gene) and hemolysin (hecB) genes were detected in 21/40 and 16/40 strains, respectively. The SE-AFLP showed a great genetic diversity, but some clonally groups were disseminated in various tanks. These data reveal that the strains presented the same virulence traits described from Arcobacter isolated from food-borne disease in humans.

“…Given that the isolation and identification of Arcobacter may fail in routine diagnostic settings, robust epidemiological data on Arcobacterinduced morbidities are limited. Thus far, Arcobacter prevalences of 0.2-3.6% have been reported for humans [4,12]. In a recent Belgian study, Arcobacter was the fourth most common pathogenic agent in diarrheal outpatients [10].…”

Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Arcobacter species in human stool samples derived from out- and inpatients: the prospective German Arcobacter prevalence study Arcopath

et al. 2020

Background: Arcobacter species, particularly A. butzleri, but also A. cryaerophilus constitute emerging pathogens causing gastroenteritis in humans. However, isolation of Arcobacter may often fail during routine diagnostic procedures due to the lack of standard protocols. Furthermore, defined breakpoints for the interpretation of antimicrobial susceptibilities of Arcobacter are missing. Hence, reliable epidemiological data of human Arcobacter infections are scarce and lacking for Germany. We therefore performed a 13-month prospective Arcobacter prevalence study in German patients. Results: A total of 4636 human stool samples was included and Arcobacter spp. were identified from 0.85% of specimens in 3884 outpatients and from 0.40% of specimens in 752 hospitalized patients. Overall, A. butzleri was the most prevalent species (n = 24; 67%), followed by A. cryaerophilus (n = 10; 28%) and A. lanthieri (n = 2; 6%). Whereas A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and A. lanthieri were identified in outpatients, only A. butzleri could be isolated from samples of hospitalized patients. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Arcobacter isolates revealed high susceptibilities to ciprofloxacin, whereas bimodal distributions of MICs were observed for azithromycin and ampicillin. Conclusions: In summary, Arcobacter including A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and A. lanthieri could be isolated in 0.85% of German outpatients and ciprofloxacin rather than other antibiotics might be appropriate for antibiotic treatment of infections. Further epidemiological studies are needed, however, to provide a sufficient risk assessment of Arcobacter infections in humans.

“…They have also been found in seawater, river and lake water, wastewater, ground water, and drinking water (Lastovica et al 2014;Hsu and Lee 2015). Fernandez et al (2015) in their phenotypic and PRC characterization of Arcobacter isolates from a variety of sources in Chile, found A. butzleri in 10 % and A. cryaerophilus in 20 % of 20 chicken fecal samples. The low prevalence of Arcobacter species in chicken gut might be an indicator that this organism is not a natural intestinal commensal and is only a transient organism incapable of colonizing the chicken gut.…”

This chapter provides a survey of research on non-jejuni/coli Campylobacter spp. and related Arcobacter and Helicobacter species in poultry. The isolation and identification, clinical and veterinary relevance, and the pathogenicity and antibiotic sensitivity of the organisms are reviewed. Most studies done on poultry, especially chicken, have focused on C. jejuni and C. coli. Increasingly, other species, such as C. lari, C. upsaliensis, and C. avium, as well as species of the related genera Arcobacter and Helicobacter (for example, A. butzleri and H. pullorum), are being found in poultry. These fastidious bacteria may be undetected, or under detected, due to unsatisfactory isolation procedures. Investigations to understand the role of the non-jejuni/coli Campylobacter spp. in poultry infection and their disease potential in humans and animals are still on-going.
