Improving the consistency of experimental swine dysentery inoculation strategies
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 ...

Mutations in the bacterial ribosomal protein l3 and their association with antibiotic resistance [PDF]
Different groups of antibiotics bind to the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) in the large subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Resistance to these groups of antibiotics has often been linked with mutations or methylations of the 23S rRNA. In recent years,

Retrospective study on the eradication of Swine Dysentery (Brachyspira hyodysenteriae) in Switzerland [PDF]
The eradication of Swine Dysentery (infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae) within farm populations is extremely complex and its success is significantly linked to the compliance of pig farmers performing the onsite eradications, emphasizing the importance of their motivation. The present study focuses on the motivation and satisfaction of Swiss pig

Enteric diseases in pigs from weaning to slaughter [PDF]
The general aim of this thesis was to study enteric diseases in growing pigs, with special reference to diseases caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Lawsonia intracellularis. The occurrence of enteric diseases in “growers” is a problem of increasing

The prevalence of Serpulina pilosicoli in humans and domestic animals in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea [PDF]
In a survey of five villages in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, Serpulina pilosicoli was isolated from rectal swabs from 113 of 496 individuals (22·8%). Colonization rates ranged from 22·6–30·1% in four of the villages but was only 8·6% in the

Prevalence of Lawsonia intracellularis, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Salmonella in swine herds
The prevalence of Lawsonia intracellularis, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Salmonella spp. were investigated by multiplex PCR using fecal samples of pigs with diarrhea or a history of diarrhea. The overall herd prevalence of L. intracellularis, B. hyodysenteriae and Salmonella spp. were 46.5%, 37.2% and 51.1%, respectively.
