Human intestinal spirochetosis accompanied by human immunodeficiency virus infection:a case report [PDF]
We present a middle-aged, heterosexual Japanese man with mixed infections including human intestinal spirochetosis, which led us to the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

A survey on the occurrence of Brachyspira pilosicoli and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae in growing-finishing pigs [PDF]
Background: The major pathogenic intestinal spirochetes affecting pigs during the growing- finishing stage of production includeBrachyspira hyodysenteriaeandBrachyspira pilosicoli. The aim of this study was to assess the current occurrence ofB. hyodysenteriaeandB. pilosicoliin Polish pig herds. Moreover, associations between the presence of diarrhea or

Spirochaetes as intestinal pathogens: Lessons from a
Anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira have long been known as important gut pathogens of pigs, but increasingly they are recognised as causing disease in birds and other animal species, including human beings.

The levels of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae binding to porcine colonic mucins differ between individuals, and binding is increased to mucins from infected pigs with de novo MUC5AC synthesis [PDF]
Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonizes the pig colon, resulting in mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and growth retardation. Fecal mucus is a characteristic feature of swine dysentery; therefore, we investigated how the mucin environment changes in the colon during

Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira share a partially conserved 26 kilobase genomic region with Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli [PDF]
Anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira include both pathogenic and commensal species. The two best-studied members are the pathogenic species B. hyodysenteriae (the aetiological agent of swine dysentery) and B.

Porcine intestinal glycosphingolipids recognized by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae
Swine dysentery caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is a disease present worldwide with an important economic impact on the farming business, resulting in an increased use of antibiotics. In the present study, we investigated the binding of B. hyodysenteriae to glycosphingolipids from porcine small intestinal epithelium in order to determine the ...
