Abstract in Portuguese
As espécies do gênero Arcobacter eram classificadas até a década de 1990 como pertencentes ao gênero Campylobacter. Atualmente três das cinco espécies deste gênero são consideradas potencialmente zoonóticas, podendo ser transmitidas por alimentos de origem animal. O presente estudo teve como objetivo isolar e caracterizar geneticamente amostras de Arcobacter spp., isoladas a partir de 120 amostras de carcaças, 120 amostras de fezes e 24 de amostras de músculo suíno coletadas em dois abatedouros localizados no Estado de São Paulo. Os isolados obtidos foram submetidos ao PCR-Multiplex para a determinação das espécies do gênero e analisados através da eletroforese em campo pulsado. O agente foi isolado de 71,6% das carcaças, 4,16% das amostras de fezes e 8,3% das amostras de músculo. As espécies mais prevalentes foram A. butzleri e A. cryaerophilus. A análise dos dados obtidos no PFGE (SmaI) revelou 51 perfis distintos, com um índice discriminatório de 0,98 e grande diversidade genotípica entre as amostras . O sítio de isolamento mais frequente para o agente foram as carcaças e o PFGE mostrou-se um bom instrumento para a caracterização e discriminação de cepas deste gênero

Abstract in English
The species of Arcobacter spp. genus have been classified until 1990 as species belonging to the genus Campylobacter. Nowadays, three of five species of this genus are consider as potencially zoonotic, and can be transmitted from food of animal origin. The present study goal was to isolate and characterize genetically strains of Arcobacter spp. isolated from 120 carcasses, 120 faeces and 24 swine muscle sampled in two swine slaughterhouses located in São Paulo State. Isolates were submitted to multiplex-PCR to identify species of the genus and analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The agent was isolated from 71,6% of carcasses, 4,16% of faeces and 8,3% of muscles samples. A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus were the most prevalent species. The analysis of data obtained in PFGE showed 51 distinct profiles, the discriminatory index of 0,98 and it demonstrated large genotipic diversity among the strains. The main isolation site were the carcasses and the PFGE was a good tool to characterize and discriminate Arcobacter spp. strains.
