“…Its occurrence is higher in this by-product than what has been reported for retail beef meat in Asian and European countries (Kabeya et al 2004;Scullion et al 2006;De Smet et al 2010;Shah et al 2012;Zacharow et al 2015;Jasim et al 2020). This is an emerging pathogen that has been linked to both gastrointestinal and systemic diseases in humans and whose routes of transmission are still not entirely clear (Mateus et al 2021). As such, beef liver should also be considered in future epidemiological studies on Arcobacter transmission.…”

“…The transmission of these zoonotic agents may occur through the consumption of contaminated water and foods (especially undercooked meats and unpasteurized milk), or through direct contact with carrier animals such as poultry and livestock, as well as pets (Kaakoush et al 2015;Mateus et al 2021). The intestinal tract of cattle usually harbours Campylobacter and Arcobacter species (Shah et al 2012;An et al 2018).…”

Bovine by‐products, such as liver, could be an underestimated source of Campylobacter jejuni. Therefore, our aims were to evaluate the occurrence of C. jejuni and other Campylobacteraceae in retail beef liver and characterize their antibiotic resistance (ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, erythromycin and gentamicin) and potential genetic relationship by flagellin gene restriction fragment length polymorphism (flaA‐RFLP) and multilocus sequence typing with clinical strains. Seventy‐six out of 206 samples (36·9%) were positive for Campylobacter and related organisms. Arcobacter butzleri was the most frequently isolated species (21·8%), followed by C. jejuni (9·7%), C. fetus (7·8%) and C. coli (1%). The C. jejuni strains showed resistance to tetracycline (17·2%) or ciprofloxacin (6·9%), with only one strain resistant to both antibiotics. Meanwhile, 8·3% of ciprofloxacin resistance was observed in C. fetus. The other species showed no resistance. Most of the clonal complexes (CC) in which the C. jejuni genotypes were grouped (CC‐21, 42, 48 and 52), coincided with genotypes of clinical strains previously reported in Chile. As such, this study provides evidence that beef liver could be an underestimated route for resistant C. jejuni to humans. Further studies should assess whether this food could play a role in the transmission of other emerging Campylobacteraceae such as those reported here.

“…The use of molecular methods allows a faster and more sensitive detection of bacteria, being able to detect both viable and non-viable cells, as well as viable but not cultivable cells. Nonetheless, this methodology has some drawbacks as well, associated with the fact that some molecular methodologies do not allow to distinguish dead from live cells or to recover bacterial isolates that can be used for further studies [14,[23][24][25]. Several culture methods are used and the recovery of bacteria from this family can be associated with various factors related with the sample, but also with the disparity in the sensitivity and specificity of isolation methods [25], pointing out the need for a standard protocol for the isolation of Arcobacteraceae species from diverse samples [11,23,25].…”

Members of the family Arcobacteraceae are distributed widely in aquatic environments, and some of its species have been associated with human and animal illness. However, information about the diversity and distribution of Arcobacteraceae in different water bodies is still limited. In order to better characterize the health risk posed by members in the family Arcobacteraceae, a systematic review and meta-analysis-based method was used to investigate the prevalence of Arcobacteraceae species in aquatic environments based on available data published worldwide. The database search was performed using related keywords and considering studies up to February 2021. The pooled prevalence in aquatic environments was 69.2%, ranging from 0.6 to 99.9%. These bacteria have a wide geographical distribution, being found in diverse aquatic environments with the highest prevalence found in raw sewage and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), followed by seawater, surface water, ground water, processing water from food processing plants and water for human consumption. Assessing the effectiveness of treatments in WWTP in eliminating this contamination, it was found that the wastewater treatment may not be efficient in the removal of Arcobacteraceae. Among the analyzed Arcobacteraceae species, Al. butzleri was the most frequently found species. These results highlight the high prevalence and distribution of Arcobacteraceae in different aquatic environments, suggesting a risk to human health. Further, it exposes the importance of identifying and managing the sources of contamination and taking preventive actions to reduce the burden of members of the Arcobacteraceae family.
