Characterization and Recognition of Brachyspira hampsonii sp. nov., a Novel Intestinal Spirochete That Is Pathogenic to Pigs [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2016 ABSTRACT Swine dysentery (SD) is a mucohemorrhagic colitis of swine classically caused by infection with the intestinal spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae . Since around 2007, cases of SD have occurred in North America associated with a different strongly beta-hemolytic spirochete that has been ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Novel Pathogen “Brachyspira hampsonii” Reveals Relationships between Diverse Genetic Groups, Regions, Host Species, and Other Pathogenic and Commensal Brachyspira Species [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACT Outbreaks of bloody diarrhea in swine herds in the late 2000s signaled the reemergence of an economically significant disease, swine dysentery, in the United States. Investigations confirmed the emergence of a novel spirochete in swine, provisionally designated “ Brachyspira hampsonii ,” with two ...

Fecal shedding of Brachyspira spp. on a farrow-to-finish swine farm with a clinical history of “Brachyspira hampsonii”-associated colitis [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2013 BackgroundBrachyspira associated diarrhea is a re-emerging concern for Canadian swine producers. To identify critical control points for reducing the impact of Brachyspira on production, improved diagnostic tools and a better understanding of the on-farm

First isolation of “Brachyspira hampsonii” from pigs in Europe [PDF]
Veterinary Record, 2014 Swine dysentery in Europe is classically attributed to Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. However, other Brachyspira species have been increasingly associated with intestinal disorders in pigs.

Differential expression of hemolysin genes in weakly and strongly hemolytic Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Swine dysentery (SD) is a diarrheal disease in fattening pigs that is caused by the strongly hemolytic species Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae, B. hampsonii and B. suanatina. As weakly hemolytic Brachyspira spp. are considered less virulent or

Investigation of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira hampsonii strain EB107 and comparison of diagnostic methods [PDF]
, 2014 Swine dysentery (SD) is an important cause of mucohemorrhagic diarrhea in pigs. Swine dysentery is associated with infection by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae which has historically been the only recognized strongly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira sp. However, in

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2021 BACKGROUND TlyA proteins are expressed in a variety of pathogenic bacteria and possess dual hemolytic and ribosomal RNA methyltransferase functions. While the mechanism of TlyA mediated rRNA methylation is well understood, relatively little is known ...
