Identification of genes associated with prophage-like gene transfer agents in the pathogenic intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, Brachyspira pilosicoli and Brachyspira intermedia [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009 VSH-1 is an unusual prophage-like gene transfer agent (GTA) that has been described in the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. The GTA does not self-propagate, but it assembles into a virus-like particle and transfers random 7.5kb fragments of host DNA to other B. hyodysenteriae cells.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli isolated in Sweden between 1990 and 2010 [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2012 The anaerobic spirochetes Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli cause diarrheal diseases in pigs. Their fastidious nature has hampered standardization of methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. For monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility wild type cutoff values are needed to define where the wild type distribution of MICs ...

Validation of an antimicrobial susceptibility testing protocol for Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli in an international ring trial [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2020 Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli cause economically important enteric disease in pigs. Treatment of these infections often includes antimicrobial administration, which can be most effective when therapeutic options are informed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing data.

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Swine veterinary practice involves a range of invasive procedures, including venipuncture and catheterization, for diagnostic, therapeutic, and epidemiological purposes. With the global expansion of pig production and the growing need for effective health monitoring, particularly in the context of infectious disease control programs, such as Aujeszky’s

Fecal short‐chain fatty acids vary by sex and amyloid status
Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract INTRODUCTION Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), produced by gut microbes, influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in animals. Less is known about SCFAs and AD in humans. We profiled feces of adults along the AD continuum to investigate gut microbiome and SCFA associations with AD pathology and cognition.

Pediatric Autoimmune Pancreatitis: Clinical Findings and Outcomes in Sweden
United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 819-830, June 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of pancreatitis in children with poorly understood pathophysiology. It is a recognized risk factor for chronic pancreatitis in approximately 4% of pediatric cases. This study aims to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of a large Swedish cohort of

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.Vaccine‐induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a novel syndrome of adverse events following adenovirus vector COVID‐19 vaccines, was observed after vaccination with Zoetis PR‐VAC PLUS. This resulted in 100% morbidity in PRV‐free Danish pure breeders from Danish Genetics Co., causing severe pulmonary oedema, gastric ulcers, haemorrhagic ...

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, Page 124-131, February 2025.Gene transfer agents (GTAs) have been maintained for millions of years as domesticated viruses in the genomes of various prokaryotes. GTAs produced by different species package the entire host chromosome but with species‐specific biases in DNA content. GTAs do not preferentially propagate the genes encoding them and are inherently difficult to identify

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Infant‐type bifidobacteria exhibit potential as targeted biocontrol agents against Listeria monocytogenes infections. However, the strain‐specific antimicrobial efficacy and molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, the probiotic potential of five bifidobacteria strains was systematically evaluated through comprehensive ...

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 1972-1984, December 2024.We analyzed metagenomic sequencing data obtained from fecal samples of hooded cranes and wild ducks that winter on the Izumi Plain in Japan. Various organisms were identified in each sample, and their diversity differs between the crane and duck groups, suggesting that these two bird species may have distinct gut microbiota.
