Colonizing the Unlikely: Brachyspira in an Immunocompetent Patient. [PDF]

ACG Case Rep J
Chronic diarrhea is a common condition that medical professionals often encounter. We present an unusual case of chronic diarrhea in a relatively young, immunocompetent man that was attributed to Brachyspira.

Fungal-Bacterial Dysbiosis in IBD: Microbial Biomarkers of Disease Activity. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
This study characterizes bacterial, fungal, and viral communities in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis using intestinal and faecal samples. Distinct microbial signatures and inter‐kingdom interactions were identified, with taxa such as Prevotella, Fusobacterium, and Roseburia linked to disease activity.

New insights into swine dysentery: faecal shedding, macro and microscopic lesions and biomarkers in early and acute stages of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae infection. [PDF]

Porcine Health Manag
Swine dysentery (SD) is a severe mucohaemorrhagic colitis in pigs caused classically by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. Although several aspects of B.

Synergic Effect of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Lawsonia intracellularis Coinfection: Anatomopathological and Microbiome Evaluation. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2023
Simple Summary Clinical and anatomopathological evaluations of animals experimentally inoculated with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and 7 days later with Lawsonia intracellularis were performed and compared to single-infected pigs.

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.

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.

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.

Field study on the suitability of oral fluid samples for monitoring of Lawsonia intracellularis and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae by multiplex qPCR under field conditions. [PDF]

Porcine Health Manag
Monitoring or surveillance of infectious diseases is crucial in terms of herd health management of livestock. Investigations of oral fluids have become an animal friendly routine strategy to monitor respiratory pathogens in pigs.

Human intestinal spirochetosis:Brachyspira aalborgiand/orBrachyspira pilosicoli? [PDF]

Animal Health Research Reviews, 2001
AbstractIntestinal spirochetosis in humans (HIS) is a condition defined by the presence of a layer of spirochetes attached by one cell end to the colorectal epithelium. The pathologic significance of HIS is uncertain, but it has been linked to chronic diarrhea and other abdominal complaints.
