Abstract
Results: Four (0.24%) of the samples were positive for Arcobacter butzleri isolates. Genus-specific primers for real-time PCR were designed to identify Arcobacter species. Of the 1,650 stool samples tested, twelve (0.73%), including the four culture-positive samples, were positive for Arcobacter species by real-time PCR. The sensitivity of real-time PCR was 10 4 CFU g -1 stool, 50 CFU reaction -1 using a stool sample.
