Description
Marine Jauvain and co-authors describe more than twelve hundred human infections with Aliarcobacter bacteria in France, in this 2025 paper. These gut bacteria are kin to the better-known Campylobacter, but their pattern of illness was poorly charted. The cases span more than two decades of records.
One species, Aliarcobacter butzleri, caused most infections, and patients were mainly men over sixty, with cases peaking in autumn. In the subset with clinical notes, diarrhea and belly pain were common, while fever and bloody stool were rare. Many bacterial samples resisted two common drug families, a finding the authors flag for treatment choices.
