The Arcobacter species are regarded as an emerging bacterial pathogen mainly responsible for infection such as enteritis, septicemia, diarrhea, and bacteremia in human populations and enteritis and abortion in farm-reared animals. For the past several years, an increase in the frequency of antibiotic-resistant strains of Arcobacter has been observed due to disproportionate use of veterinary drugs including antibiotics in the treatment process for controlling infections in food production avenues and human populations. Among different species of Arcobacter, presently three species of Arcobacter, namely, A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, and A. skirrowii, are well established as human pathogens and are associated with clinical manifestations. Drug-resistant Arcobacter were frequently isolated from different food products, and the mechanisms of resistance are being studied for better understanding. However, limitation for studying antimicrobial susceptibility is lack of specific breakpoints for Arcobacter species. This chapter describes the antibiotic resistance pattern in Arcobacter with reference to three dominant species from this genus.
