Helicobacter and Arcobacter species: risks for foods and beverages.

Author(s) : WESLEY I. V.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Helicobacter pylori causes human ulcers and has been linked to cancer. It has been detected in water, but in no other food. The genus Arcobacter was proposed in 1991 to include aerotolerant campylobacter-like organisms recovered from cases of livestock abortion and human enteritis. The evidence for considering Helicobacter spp. and Arcobacter spp., especially A. butzleri, as emerging foodborne pathogens and their risk of transmission in foods and beverages is reviewed. The risk of transmission to humans of H. pylori and A. butzleri via properly cooked foods and chlorinated water is negligible.
