The complete genome sequence of the pathogenic intestinal spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli and comparison with other Brachyspira genomes.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundThe anaerobic spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli colonizes the large intestine of various species of birds and mammals, including humans. It causes "intestinal spirochetosis", a condition characterized by mild colitis, diarrhea and reduced ...

The 23S rRNA gene PCR-RFLP used for characterization of porcine intestinal spirochete isolates [PDF]

, 2006
Using three reference strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (B204, B234, B169), one B. pilosicoli (P43/6/78), one B. murdochii (56-150), one B. intermedia (PWS/A), one B. innocens (B256) and ten Korean isolates, PCR-RFLP analysis of DNA encoding 23S rRNA

Spherical body formation in the spirochaeteBrachyspira hyodysenteriae [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
When cultures of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae were grown under a wide range of in vitro conditions, at least 1% of the cells formed spherical bodies different to the normal helical form. This percentage increased considerably in aging cultures or following their incubation in caramelized media.

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae detection in the large intestine of slaughtered pigs. [PDF]

J Vet Diagn Invest, 2018
Detection of subclinical Brachyspira hyodysenteriae infection in pig herds using feces is challenging. However, the ability to detect the pathogen in intestinal samples of slaughtered pigs has not been investigated, to our knowledge. Therefore, we determined the detection of B. hyodysenteriae in the colon, cecum, and rectum from slaughtered pigs.

Investigation of the impact of increased dietary insoluble fiber through the feeding of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on the incidence and severity of Brachyspira-associated colitis in pigs.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Diet has been implicated as a major factor impacting clinical disease expression of swine dysentery and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonization. However, the impact of diet on novel pathogenic strongly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira spp.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli isolated in Sweden between 1990 and 2010

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2012
Background 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.

Virulence properties of Campylobacter jejuni are enhanced by displaying a mycobacterial TlyA methylation pattern in its rRNA

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Campylobacter jejuni is a bacterial pathogen that is generally acquired as a zoonotic infection from poultry and animals. Adhesion of C. jejuni to human colorectal epithelial cells is weakened after loss of its cj0588 gene. The Cj0588 protein belongs to the type I group of TlyA (TlyAI) enzymes, which 2′‐O‐methylate nucleotide C1920 in 23S rRNA.

Herd diagnosis of low pathogen diarrhoea in growing pigs – a pilot study [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The major indication for antibiotic use in Danish pigs is treatment of intestinal diseases post weaning. Clinical decisions on antibiotic batch medication are often based on inspection of diarrhoeic pools on the pen floor.

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]

, 2015
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

Low occurrence of Brachyspira ­hyodysenteriae in Swiss pig herds with diarrhoea

Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd, 2021
In the Swiss pig population, only four sequence types (ST6, ST66, ST196, ST197) of Brachyspira ( B .) hyodysenteriae , an agent of Swine Dysentery (SD), have been so far detected suggesting a limited number of sources of B. hyodysenteriae in the Swiss pig production.
