Bacteria of the Arcobacter genus are microorganisms belonging to the Campylobacteraceae family. Currently, the Arcobacter genus comprises 23 species, isolated from a variety of hosts and ecological niches. Although most of the pathogenic species are from fecal origin, seawater is considered to be the habitat for most of them. The transmission to humans seems to be associated to the consumption of raw food or not entirely-cooked. In this regard, the presence of pathogenic Arcobacter species in food of marine origin and vegetables has not been deeply studied.
