polyphasic taxonomic study of the emended genus arcobacter with arcobacter butzleri comb. nov. and arcobacter skirrowii sp. nov., an aerotolerant bacterium isolated from veterinary specimens.	the relationships of 77 aerotolerant arcobacter strains that were originally identified as campylobacter cryaerophila (now arcobacter cryaerophilus [p. vandamme, e. falsen, r. rossau, b. hoste, p. segers, r. tytgat, and j. de ley, int. j. syst. bacteriol. 41:88-103, 1991]) and 6 reference strains belonging to the taxa arcobacter nitrofigilis, arcobacter cryaerophilus, and "campylobacter butzleri" were studied by using a polyphasic approach, in which we performed dna-rrna hybridizations, dna-dna ...	1992	1503968
isolation and characterisation of arcobacter butzleri from meat.	a survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of arcobacter in ground chicken, pork, beef and lamb meats. meat samples were enriched in arcobacter broth (ab) containing cefoperazone, amphotericin and teicoplanin (cat) supplement. samples were screened for the presence of arcobacter spp. using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr) followed by isolation on blood and selective agar. arcobacter butzleri was the only species of arcobacter isolated from 35% of 88 samples of ground meats. a. ...	2004	14967558
genotyping and genetic diversity of arcobacter butzleri by amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) analysis.	to investigate the potential of amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) profiling for genotyping arcobacter butzleri and to obtain further data on the genetic diversity of this organism.	2004	15355537
development of a multiplex and real time pcr assay for the specific detection of arcobacter butzleri and arcobacter cryaerophilus.	a new multiplex pcr and two specific taqman assays were developed to target the emerging pathogens a. butzleri and a. cryaerophilus. the assays also included an internal control to verify the presence of bacterial target dna and amplification integrity. the multiplex assay used a published primer set (cry1 and cry2) for detecting a. cryaerophilus dna (houf, k., tutenel, a., de zutter, l., van hoof, j. and vandamme, p., 2000. development of a multiplex pcr assay for the simultaneous detection and ...	2007	17055091
prevalence and distribution of arcobacter species in various sources in turkey and molecular analysis of isolated strains by eric-pcr.	to determine the prevalence of arcobacter in various food, animal and water sources in turkey and to subtype the isolated strains using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (eric)-pcr.	2007	17584450
comparison of arcobacter isolation methods, and diversity of arcobacter spp. in cheshire, united kingdom.	the aims of this study were, firstly, to compare five published methods for the isolation of arcobacter spp. from animal feces in order to determine the most sensitive and specific method. second, we analyzed the resulting isolates by multilocus sequence typing (mlst) in order to investigate the diversity of the isolates recovered. third, we investigated the ability to recover arcobacter spp. from frozen fecal samples. seventy-seven fecal samples from cattle, sheep, and badgers were subjected to ...	2010	21193675
in vitro antibacterial susceptibility of arcobacter butzleri isolated from different sources.	the objective of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of arcobacter spp. isolated from various sources. seventy arcobacter spp. isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 13 antimicrobial agents. antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by using the agar disc diffusion method on mueller-hinton agar supplemented with 5% defibrinated sheep blood. the antibiotics tested included enrofloxacin, erythromycin, streptomycin, gentamycin, rifampin, tetracycline, ampici ...	2011	22200672
