“…Recent evidence suggests that Arcobacter spp., especially A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus, may be involved in human enteric diseases (Tee et al 1988, Vandamme et al 1992a, Lappi et al 2013. Occasionally these species have also been found in cases of human extraintestinal diseases (Hsueh et al 1997, Lau et al 2002.…”

Arcobacter butzleri and A. cryaerophilus are considered potential foodborne pathogens. Consumption of Arcobacter-contaminated food is regarded the most likely source of human poisoning. We investigated the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Arcobacter isolates in 210 retail meat samples. Seventy-nine A. butzleri and 6 A. cryaerophilus were isolated from pork, beef and chicken meat. Incidence of A. butzleri was found to be the highest in chicken meat (83%). Less of A. butzleri was isolated from beef (16%) and pork (14%). Most of the A. butzleri isolates were resistant to β-lactams, like ampicillin (85%), amoxicillin with clavulonic acid (63%), cefotaxime (66%) and macrolides, i.e., erythromycin (62%). In contrast, all except one A. cryaerophilus isolates were susceptible to erythromycin. Tetracycline and aminoglycosides showed the highest efficacy against A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus since almost 80% of their population was susceptible to these agents. All, except one A. cryaerophilus and the majority of A. butzleri isolates (70%) were susceptible to fluoroquinolones. The incidence of multiresistant isolates was found in forty two (53%) A. butzleri, and one (16%) A. cryaerophilus isolates. Eight A. butzleri isolates were resistant to all antimicrobials tested. These results indicate significant incidence of potential foodborne zoonotic agents, i.e. A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus including multiresistant isolates in retail meat in Poland.

“…However, one report of a putative Arcobacter outbreak at a wedding reception suggested that symptoms may be observed as little as 6 hours and as long as three days post ingestion (Lappi et al, 2013). The mean incubation period for this outbreak was approximately 31 hours.…”

“…Like chicken, the risk of infection is due to improper hygiene after handing of raw meat and/or consumption of undercooked meat. A foodborne outbreak in a wedding reception was associated with consumption of broasted chicken contaminated with Arcobacter, demonstrating direct linkage between poultry consumption and human GI disease (Lappi et al, 2013). As geese and ducks are waterfowl, they may represent a significant source of Arcobacter contamination in still bodies of fresh water.…”

“…The successive timing of the cases suggested person-to-person contact (Vandamme et al 1992). Lappi et al (2013) reported on an outbreak of foodborne illness among attendees at a wedding reception. Forty-seven patients and 43 healthy attendees were included in a case-control study.…”

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.
