The Arcobacteraceae family groups Gram-negative bacterial species previously included in the Campylobacteraceae. These of which some are considered foodborne pathogens, have been isolated from different environmental niches and hosts. They various types foods, though predominantly food animal origin, as well stool humans with enteritis. Their abilities to survive hosts environments suggest an evolutionary pressure consequent variation their genome content. Moreover, physiological genomic...
An immunocompetent patient without a history of recent travel or animal exposure developed persistent abdominal bloating and cramps diarrhoea fever. Negative additional investigations excluded gastritis, infectious colitis, inflammatory bowel disease neoplasia, but routine stool culture detected Campylobacter-like organism. The isolate was obtained with use polycarbonate filter technique, emphasizing the importance to support validate occurrence emerging new bacterial enteric pathogens....
A study on the polyphasic taxonomic classification of an Arcobacter strain, R-73987T, isolated from rectal mucus a porcine intestinal tract, was performed. Phylogenetic analysis based 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain could be assigned to genus and suggested R-73987T belongs novel undescribed species. Comparative rpoB confirmed findings. faecis LMG 28519T identified as its closest neighbour in multigene 107 protein- encoding genes. Further, whole-genome comparisons by means average...
