Microbiology of Genus Arcobacter: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmacy Research - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
This review updates the knowledge of the genus Arcobacter providing the most recent data on the taxonomy, species diversity, methods of detection, identification and on the role that these microbes play as human and animal pathogens. Initially all the three species were classified as Campylobacter spp. To date Arcobacter are integrated into the family camphylobacteraceae and there are currently six species, the final one being A. skirrowii. Special emphasis was made on the studies that demonstrate the incidence of these microbes in food products and water as the routes of transmission. The recently discovered association between Arcobacter spp. and indicators of faecal pollution are presented as well as the water outbreaks in which they were involved.
