Bacteremia caused by Arcobacter butzleri in an immunocompromised host.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arcobacter butzleri is an emerging pathogen that has been implicated as the causative agent of persistent watery diarrhea. We describe a case involving a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who developed invasive A. butzleri bacteremia. This case illustrates the unique challenges involved in diagnosing infections caused by emerging gastrointestinal pathogens.

Arcobacter butzleri induces barrier dysfunction in intestinal HT-29/B6 cells.
BACKGROUND Arcobacter butzleri causes watery diarrhea and bacteremia. Although, recently, more cases of diarrhea have been caused by Arcobacter species, very little is known about its pathogenesis, the identification of which is the aim of this study. METHODS Human HT-29/B6 colonic epithelial monolayers were apically inoculated with A. butzleri. Transepithelial resistance and macromolecule fl...
متن کاملThe Complete Genome Sequence and Analysis of the Epsilonproteobacterium Arcobacter butzleri
BACKGROUND Arcobacter butzleri is a member of the epsilon subdivision of the Proteobacteria and a close taxonomic relative of established pathogens, such as Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori. Here we present the complete genome sequence of the human clinical isolate, A. butzleri strain RM4018. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Arcobacter butzleri is a member of the Campylobacteraceae,...
متن کاملThe Use of Two Culturing Methods in Parallel Reveals a High Prevalence and Diversity of Arcobacter spp. in a Wastewater Treatment Plant
The genus Arcobacter includes species considered emerging food and waterborne pathogens. Despite Arcobacter has been linked to the presence of faecal pollution, few studies have investigated its prevalence in wastewater, and the only isolated species were Arcobacter butzleri and Arcobacter cryaerophilus. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of Arcobacter spp. at a WWTP using in parallel...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor-4 Dependent Small Intestinal Immune Responses Following Murine Arcobacter Butzleri Infection
Sporadic cases of gastroenteritis have been attributed to Arcobacter butzleri infection, but information about the underlying immunopathological mechanisms is scarce. We have recently shown that experimental A. butzleri infection induces intestinal, extraintestinal and systemic immune responses in gnotobiotic IL-10(-/-) mice. The aim of the present study was to investigate the immunopathologica...
متن کاملExploring the Diversity of Arcobacter butzleri from Cattle in the UK Using MLST and Whole Genome Sequencing
Arcobacter butzleri is considered to be an emerging human foodborne pathogen. The completion of an A. butzleri genome sequence along with microarray analysis of 13 isolates in 2007 revealed a surprising amount of diversity amongst A. butzleri isolates from humans, animals and food. In order to further investigate Arcobacter diversity, 792 faecal samples were collected from cattle on beef and da...
