When campylobacters were attempted to isolate from various meats and specimens of diarrheal patients in Thailand, R. P. China and Japan, few strains were isolated from meats and patients with diarrhea in Thailand. However, contamination rates of meats and isolation rate from patients in R. P. China and Japan were higher. Campylobacters other than C. jejuni and C. coli, which are food poisoning-causing bacteria were also isolated from meats. Arcobacter spp. were also isolated from various meats with unexpectedly high rate regardless of the isolation country. Furthermore, campylobacter and arcobacter are highly resistant to fluoroquinolone and cephalotin, respectively.
