“…The highest prevalence is reported for poultry followed by pork and beef meat (Van Driessche and Houf, 2007). In humans, A. butzleri has been frequently associated with enteritis and occasionally bacteraemia (Arguello et al, 2015), whereas A. cryaerophilus and A. skirrowii have been isolated from stool of diarrheic patients Vandenberg et al, 2004;Wybo et al, 2004). In animals, Arcobacter is associated with reproductive disorders, mastitis and diarrhoea (Ho et al, 2006;Logan et al, 1982;van Driessche et al, 2003).…”

Arcobacter has emerged as an important food-borne zoonotic pathogen, causing sometimes serious infections in humans and animals. Newer species of Arcobacter are being incessantly emerging (presently 25 species have been identified) with novel information on the evolutionary mechanisms and genetic diversity among different Arcobacter species. These have been reported from chickens, domestic animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, dogs), reptiles (lizards, snakes and chelonians), meat (poultry, pork, goat, lamb, beef, rabbit), vegetables and from humans in different countries. Arcobacters are implicated as causative agents of diarrhea, mastitis and abortion in animals, while causing bacteremia, endocarditis, peritonitis, gastroenteritis and diarrhea in humans. Three species including A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and A. skirrowii are predominantly associated with clinical conditions. Arcobacters are primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water sources. Identification of Arcobacter by biochemical tests is difficult and isolation remains the gold standard method. Current diagnostic advances have provided various molecular methods for efficient detection and differentiation of the Arcobacters at genus and species level. To overcome the emerging antibiotic resistance problem there is an essential need to explore the potential of novel and alternative therapies. Strengthening of the diagnostic aspects is also suggested as in most cases Arcobacters goes unnoticed and hence the exact epidemiological status remains uncertain. This review updates the current knowledge and many aspects of this important food-borne pathogen, namely etiology, evolution and emergence, genetic diversity, epidemiology, the disease in animals and humans, public health concerns, and advances in its diagnosis, prevention and control.

“…A. butzleri was detected by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the blood culture of a 69-year-old woman with acute appendicitis (Lau et al 2002), and was also isolated from the blood culture of a 60-year-old man with liver cirrhosis and a high fever (Yan et al 2000). Arguello et al (2015) described a case of an 85-year-old man with fever, hypotension, and a chronic, persistent diarrhea. In this case, A. butzleri was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing.…”

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.
