Improving the consistency of experimental swine dysentery inoculation strategies [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2023
Swine dysentery (SD) caused by pathogenic Brachyspira spp. is an economic challenge for the swine industry. In research settings, experimental reproduction of swine dysentery typically relies on intragastric inoculation which has shown variable success ...

An Uncommon Cause of Diarrhoea and the Importance of an Internist Approach [PDF]

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2017
Background: Human intestinal spirochetosis is a condition defined by the presence of spirochetes attached to the colonic epithelium. Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli may cause the disease in humans.

BPP43_05035 is a Brachyspira pilosicoli cell surface adhesin that weakens the integrity of the epithelial barrier during infection [PDF]

Gut Microbes
The anaerobic spirochete Brachyspira causes intestinal spirochetosis, characterized by the intimate attachment of bacterial cells to the colonic mucosa, potentially leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.

Laboratory diagnostics of Brachyspira species [PDF]

, 2007
Bacteria of the genus Brachyspira are intestinal spirochaetes that can cause diarrhoea and mortality in pigs. Laboratory diagnostics of Brachyspira species is essential for confirming clinical diagnosis, for providing data for optimal treatment and for surveillance of the bacteria in individual animals or herds.

PCR detection ofBrachyspira aalborgiandBrachyspira pilosicoliin human faeces [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
Previously-developed PCR protocols specific for the 16S rRNA gene of the intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli were adapted for the detection of these species in human faeces, following DNA extraction and purification using mini-prep columns. The limits of detection in seeded faeces for B. aalborgi and B.

Development of a real-time PCR for identification of brachyspira species in human colonic biopsies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Brachyspira species are fastidious anaerobic microorganisms, that infect the colon of various animals. The genus contains both important pathogens of livestock as well as commensals. Two species are known to infect humans: B.

ANTIMICROBIAL SENSITIVITY TEST OF BRACHYSPIRA SPP. ISOLATE FROM SWINE IN TAIWAN

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: Brachyspira spp. can induce mucohemorrhagic diarrhea known as swine dysentery (SD) in weaning to finishing pigs. The brachyspira is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and causes massive economic losses due to a slower rate of pig growth.
