The surge in human arcobacteriosis has increased interest in determining the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of Arcobacter butzleri. Here, genomic analyses and in vitro Caco-2 infection, motility, urease and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) assays were used to characterise the virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants of strains HC-1, isolated from a patient with travellers' diarrhoea, and HC-2, isolated from another with pruritus. AMR determinants conferring resistance to tetracycline (tetO, present in both genomes) and to ampicillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (bla3, present in HC-2) were identified. The same determinants associated with flagellum, chemotaxis, adhesion and invasion were detected in both, but HC-1 lacked eight flagellar genes. The urease cluster was only present in HC-1. Motility and urease tests confirmed the genetic differences between strains, but no genetic marker related to the inability of HC-2 to adhere and invade was identified. This inability could be conditioning the patient's pathology.

Article Synopsis
- Previous research suggested a link between gut microbiota and diverticular disease, but the exact nature wasn’t well-defined, prompting this study using a Mendelian randomization approach.
- The study involved genetic data from a large sample of European participants to explore how specific gut microbes may influence the risk of developing intestinal diverticular disease.
- Results identified 11 microbial taxa with potential causal relationships to the disease—some increasing risk while others decreased it—offering insights for future prevention and treatment strategies.

Sun-drying constitutes a traditional method employed in the preparation of dried oysters within the coastal regions of South China. However, its ramifications on nutritional attributes and the genesis of flavor-contributory compounds in the resultant dried oysters remain significantly unexplored. This research endeavors to scrutinize the repercussions of the production process on the microbiota and metabolites within dried oysters.

The increase of Arcobacter spp. infection cases in humans, coupled with varying symptomatology, highlights the need to study the virulence mechanisms of these bacteria. Arcobacter butzleri can induce the release of several proinflammatory cytokines in human monocytic-derived macrophages, but the mechanism used to achieve this is still unclear.

Introduction: Arcobacter species are emerging foodborne pathogens increasingly associated with human illness worldwide. They are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and are frequently isolated from various food sources, including raw meat, poultry, and seafood. The aim of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Arcobacter spp.

-related species are considered emerging food-borne and waterborne pathogens, with shellfish being a suggested reservoir. In a published study that investigated 204 shellfish samples and 476 isolates, the species (now known as ) and (now known as ) have been isolated as the most dominant species. However, the efficiency of depuration for eliminating and in comparison with from mussels and oysters is unknown and is therefore the objective of this investigation.
