Abstract excerpt
Arcobacter cryaerophilus is a heterogeneous species in which two distinct subgroups have been reported. In the present study, the taxonomic status of these subgroups was reassessed using amplified fragment length polymorphism and heat shock protein 60 gene sequence analysis. The results demonstrated that A. cryaerophilus has a complex taxonomic structure, which consists of multiple cores of strains that share...
