Spirochaetes and other bacterial species associated with bovine digital dermatitis [PDF]
The 16S rRNA genes from spirochaetes associated with digital dermatitis of British cattle were amplified by polymerase chain reaction from digital dermatitis lesion biopsies using one universal and one treponeme-specific primer. Two treponemal sequences were identified both of which shared a high degree of homology with the oral pathogen Treponema ...

Characterizing the microbiota of bovine digital dermatitis
Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is a skin disease affecting cattle worldwide. As a significant contributor to infectious lameness, DD is increasingly an economic and animal welfare concern for dairy and beef producers. DD is a polymicrobial disease, with many different types of anaerobic bacteria strongly associated with lesions.
