Biofilm Formation Ability of -like and Strains under Different Conditions and on Food Processing Materials.

  is the most frequent cause of bacterial gastrointestinal food-borne infection worldwide. The transmission of and -like species is often made possible by their ability to adhere to various abiotic surfaces. This study is focused on monitoring the biofilm ability of 69 strains of spp.

Occurrence of virulence-associated genes in Arcobacter butzleri and Arcobacter cryaerophilus isolates from foodstuff, water, and clinical samples within the Czech Republic.

Bacteria of the Arcobacter (A.) genus, originating mainly from food and water, are dreaded germs for humans as well as animals. However, the virulence of these bacteria has not been fully elucidated yet.

Susceptibility to 18 drugs and multidrug resistance of Arcobacter isolates from different sources within the Czech Republic.

Objectives: Arcobacter spp. are considered to be potential foodborne pathogens, and consumption of contaminated food containing these bacteria could endanger human and animal health. Arcobacter butzleri and Arcobacter cryaerophilus are the species most frequently isolated from food of animal origin and from other samples.
