“…The results of this study are in accordance with the earlier studies where 12.0% (Patyal et al, 2011) and 7.75% On analysis of foods of animal origin, higher presence rate was found in pork (15.0%, 6/40), followed by chicken (12.5%, 5/40), milk (10.0%, 4/40) and mutton (7.5%, 3/40). Almost similar detection rate has been reported by earlier studies, wherein detection rate of Arcobacter was 15% in mutton (Rivas et al, 2004), 16% in pork (Patyal et al, 2011) and 12% in chicken (Patyal et al, 2011). On the other hand, contrary to our results, a lower prevalence (1.6%) of Arcobacter was observed in raw milk samples .…”

A total of n=510 samples comprising of faecal swabs from livestock (n=245), foods of animal origin (n=180) and human stools (n=85) were examined to detect Arcobacter species employing cultural and PCR methods. Overall, 11.7% of samples were found positive for Arcobacter species by genus-specific PCR. On screening faecal samples of livestocks, higher positivity was observed in pigs (23.3%), followed by chicken (16.6%), turkey (15.0%), cattle (10.0%), duck (10.0%) and sheep (6.6%). With regard to foods of animal origin, higher positivity was observed in pork samples (15.0%), followed by chicken (12.5%), milk (10.0%) and mutton (7.5%). In humans, the stool samples of farm workers revealed high positivity (13.3%) followed by veterinary students (8.0%) and diarrhoeic humans (6.66%). Using cultural method, a total of 41 (8.03%) Arcobacter isolates were recovered. The multiplex-PCR assay enabled detection of Arcobacter butzleri (16/41), Arcobacter cryaerophilus (13/41) and Arcobacter skirrowii (12/41). The results signify the occurrence of Arcobacter species in animal faeces, foods of animal origin and humans in Andhra Pradesh, India.

“…Like Campylobacter, Arcobacter species have been indicated as foodborne microorganisms since they have been detected in food of animal origin, especially in products from chicken all over the world (de Boer et al, 1996;Kabeya et al, 2004;Rivas et al, 2004;Son et al, 2006). The bacteria are found on almost all sampled broiler carcasses with a significantly higher recovery rate than Campylobacter spp.…”

“…such as Arcobacter butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, and A. skirrowii in patients with diarrhea and/or food-borne illness (13,30,33,49,60), which has led to these microbes being characterized as potential food-and waterborne pathogens (1,26). Moreover, the presence of Arcobacter in livestock and processed meat (28,29,48) suggests that animals may also serve as possible reservoirs for Arcobacter species. Therefore, the relative abundance, sources, and routes of human exposure particular to Arcobacter need to be considered a serious public health concern.…”

The genus Arcobacter has been associated with human illness and fecal contamination by humans and animals. To better characterize the health risk posed by this emerging waterborne pathogen, we investigated the occurrence of Arcobacter spp. in Lake Erie beach waters. During the summer of 2010, water samples were collected 35 times from the Euclid, Villa Angela, and Headlands (East and West) beaches, located along Ohio's Lake Erie coast. After sample concentration, Arcobacter was quantified by realtime PCR targeting the Arcobacter 23S rRNA gene. Other fecal genetic markers (Bacteroides 16S rRNA gene [HuBac], Escherichia coli uidA gene, Enterococcus 23S rRNA gene, and tetracycline resistance genes) were also assessed. Arcobacter was detected frequently at all beaches, and both the occurrence and densities of Arcobacter spp. were higher at the Euclid and Villa Angela beaches (with higher levels of fecal contamination) than at the East and West Headlands beaches. The Arcobacter density in Lake Erie beach water was significantly correlated with the human-specific fecal marker HuBac according to Spearman's correlation analysis (r ‫؍‬ 0.592; P < 0.001). Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that most of the identified Arcobacter sequences were closely related to Arcobacter cryaerophilus, which is known to cause gastrointestinal diseases in humans. Since human-pathogenic Arcobacter spp. are linked to human-associated fecal sources, it is important to identify and manage the human-associated contamination sources for the prevention of Arcobacter-associated public health risks at Lake Erie beaches.
