Arcobacter butzleri: Underestimated Enteropathogen
Molecular methods applied to 2,855 strains of Campylobacter-like organisms received from a surveillance network of Campylobacter infections in France identified 29 Arcobacter butzleri infections. This species ranks fourth for Campylobacteraceae isolation and appears to have the same pathogenic potential as the other species in the genus.
متن کاملIsolation of Arcobacter skirrowii from a patient with chronic diarrhea.
The genus Arcobacter currently includes four species (7). Two species, Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter butzleri, have been associated with human disease. They were mainly isolated from patients with diarrhea and bacteremia (2, 3, 6). Arcobacter nitrofigilis has been associated with roots of a salt marsh plant, Spartina alterniflora. The fourth species, Arcobacter skirrowii, has been rec...
متن کاملBacteremia caused by Arcobacter butzleri in an immunocompromised host.
Arcobacter butzleri is an emerging pathogen that has been implicated as the causative agent of persistent watery diarrhea. We describe a case involving a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who developed invasive A. butzleri bacteremia. This case illustrates the unique challenges involved in diagnosing infections caused by emerging gastrointestinal pathogens.
متن کاملSusceptibility of Arcobacter butzleri, Arcobacter cryaerophilus, and Arcobacter skirrowii to antimicrobial agents used in selective media.
Several antimicrobial agents used in selective media for the isolation of Arcobacter were found to be inhibitory to strains belonging to this genus. All three species tested were susceptible to colistin and rifampin at concentrations used in selective media. Arcobacter skirrowii was the most susceptible species. 5-Fluorouracil, novobiocin, trimethoprim, and teicoplanin or vancomycin were found ...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of the Arcobacter butzleri Cattle Isolate 7h1h
Arcobacter butzleri strain 7h1h was isolated in the United Kingdom from the feces of a clinically healthy dairy cow. The genome of this isolate was sequenced to completion. Here, we present the annotation and analysis of the completed 7h1h genome, along with a comparison of this genome to the existing A. butzleri genomes.
