A combined PCR-culture technique was developed to detect Arcobacter spp. in fresh chicken meat. Following a short selective enrichment of chicken samples, bacterial DNA was extracted and amplified using primers targeted at the genes encoding 16S rRNA of Arcobacter spp. The selected primers amplify a 181-bp fragment from all Arcobacter spp., whereas no PCR product is generated for other bacteria, including the closely related Campylobacter and Helicobacter species. The assay was used to screen 96 retail-purchased chicken samples for the presence of Arcobacter spp. Fifty-three percent of the samples analysed were positive for this micro-organism. The assay is simple and sensitive and reduces the amount of time required to positively detect Arcobacter spp. in poultry meat.
