“…Further work is required to better understand the relationship between these putative virulence markers and human clinical outcomes, though some tantalizing evidence suggests that Arcobacter has the potential to induce tight junction dysfunction (Bücker et al, 2009;Karadas et al, 2016), which may lead to diarrhea . This is similar to the effect observed with enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) infection (Strauman et al, 2010 (Wesley et al, 2000;van Driessche et al, 2005;Merga et al, 2011;Shah et al, 2013;Grove-White et al, 2014). Isolation rates vary between studies, but young cattle/calves were consistently shown to have higher Arcobacter carriage rates.…”
