Abstract

Helicobacter pylori is associated with human gastric ulcers and gastric cancer; it has been detected in water, but not in foods. Arcobacter, a newly described Campylobacter-like organism, has been associated with cases of livestock abortion and human enteritis. Arcobacter spp. have been detected in water, cattle, swine, poultry, and ground pork products. This article reviews the evidence for considering Helicobacter spp. and Arcobacter spp., especially Arcobacter butzleri, as emerging foodborne pathogens.
