Arcobacter butzleri, recently emended to the Aliarcobacter butzleri comb. nov., is an emerging pathogen causing enteritis, severe diarrhea, septicaemia, and bacteraemia in humans and enteritis, stillbirth, and abortion in animals. Since its recognition as emerging pathogen on 2002, advancements have been made in elucidating its pathogenicity and epidemiology, also thanks to advent of genomics, which, moreover, contributed in emending its taxonomy. In this review, we provide an overview of the up-to-date taxonomy, ecology, and pathogenicity of this emerging pathogen. Moreover, the implication of A. butzleri in the safety of foods is pinpointed, and culture-dependent and independent detection, identification, and typing methods as well as strategies to control and prevent the survival and growth of this pathogen are provided.
弯曲杆菌属（Arcobacter）中的布氏弯曲杆菌（Arcobacter butzleri），最近被修正为弯曲杆菌属（Aliarcobacter butzleri）的组合新种，是一种新兴的病原体，可引起人类肠炎、严重腹泻、败血症和菌血症，以及动物肠炎、死产和流产。自 2002 年被确认为新兴病原体以来，由于基因组学的出现，其致病性和流行病学的研究取得了进展，这也有助于修正其分类。在这篇综述中，我们提供了对这种新兴病原体的最新分类、生态学和致病性的概述。此外，还指出了 A. butzleri 对食品安全性的影响，并提供了依赖于培养和独立的检测、鉴定和分型方法，以及控制和预防这种病原体生存和生长的策略。
