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
