Abstract(s)
Arcobacter butzleri is an emerging pathogen with a global distribution, frequently found in the food chain. Its wide spread and association with human illness may point this bacterium as a possible causative agent of foodborne diseases usually associated with unknown aetiology. Thus, the true pathogenic potential of A. butzleri and the associated risk of disease development must be clarified. Since its dispersion throughout the food chain is clear, this points towards a potential public health problem due to contaminated food and water, which is strengthened by the ability of this microorganism to survive in food products and water and by its resistance to stress created during food storage and processing.
Highlights: Arcobacter butzleri is vastly distributed in food chain; A. butzleri may be a potential health hazard with impact in food safety; Routes of contamination through food chain; Persistence of A. butzleri to common food-related stresses.
