Characterization of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae isolates from Korea
Journal of Veterinary Science, 2005 This study was done to characterize diversity in 10 Brachyspira hyodysenteriae isolates in Korea. The isolates were compared with 14 well-characterized non-Korean strains of various Brachyspira species. All Korean isolates showed strong beta haemolysis and had blunt cell ends with 7-14 periplasmic flagella.

Characterization of the fecal microbiota of pigs before and after inoculation with "Brachyspira hampsonii". [PDF]
, 2014 Brachyspira hampsonii causes disease indistinguishable from swine dysentery, and the structure of the intestinal microbiome likely plays a role in determining susceptibility of individual pigs to infection and development of clinical disease.

Analysis of Multiple Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Genomes Confirms That the Species Is Relatively Conserved but Has Potentially Important Strain Variation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The intestinal spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is an important pathogen in swine, causing mucohemorrhagic colitis in a disease known as swine dysentery.

An Investigation into the Etiological Agents of Swine Dysentery in Australian Pig Herds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Swine dysentery (SD) is a mucohemorrhagic colitis, classically seen in grower/finisher pigs and caused by infection with the anaerobic intestinal spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae.

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.

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.

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
