Arcobacter spp. are commonly associated with shellfish and have been increasingly implicated in human gastrointestinal disease. We report the first case of human bacteremia with Malacobacter (previously Arcobacter) mytili acquired after exposure to Maryland crab. Arcobacter spp. should be considered in febrile illnesses when the history indicates exposure to seafood.
弓形杆菌属通常与贝类有关，并且越来越多地被认为与人类胃肠道疾病有关。我们报告了首例在接触马里兰州螃蟹后感染贻贝弓形杆菌（以前称为弓形杆菌）导致的人类菌血症病例。当病史表明接触过海鲜时，发热性疾病应考虑弓形杆菌属感染。
