      Foodborne and waterborne Arcobacter species exhibit a high virulent activity in Caco-2 

      Baztarrika, Itsaso; Salazar Sánchez, Adrián; Laorden Muñoz, Lorena ORCID; Martínez Ballesteros, Ilargi ORCID; Alonso Monsalve, Rodrigo; Martínez Malax-Echevarría, Irati ORCID (Elsevier, 2024-04)
      Infection mechanisms of Arcobacter remain uncertain. This study aimed to determine whether 65 food and waterborne isolates of at least six species were able to adhere and invade Caco-2 cells; and whether this ability could ...
