Summary: The genus Arcobacter has become increasingly important in recent years because some species have been considered emerging enteropathogens and potential zoonotic agents. Arcobacter spp. can be isolated from food of animal origin and from various kind of water. This study assessed the survival and biofilm activity of Arcobacter strains (including the less described A. defluvii) at processing temperatures applied in the food industry. Broth cultures of five strains were stored at various temperatures (
