Abstract
Microaerophilic ''campylobacter-like organisms'' (CLO) were isolated f rom a drinking water reservoir in Germany during a period of some mont hs. The strains were characterized by biotyping (API Campy), serotypin g and SDS-Disc-gelelectrophoresis as Arcobacter butzleri. Now this fac ultative humanpathogen species was first described in Germany. With re spect to the drinking water treatment, the hygienic importance of the findings is given.
