Potential for Zoonotic Transmission of Brachyspira pilosicoli [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Anaerobic intestinal spirochetes of the genus Brachyspira colonize the large intestine (1). Most Brachyspira species have a restricted host range, whereas Brachyspira (formerly Serpulina) pilosicoli colonizes a variety of animal and bird species and ...

Brachyspira pilosicoli-induced avian intestinal spirochaetosis. [PDF]

Microb Ecol Health Dis, 2015
Avian intestinal spirochetosis (AIS) is a common disease occurring in poultry that can be caused by Brachyspira pilosicoli, a Gram-negative bacterium of the order Spirochaetes. During AIS, this opportunistic pathogen colonises the lower gastrointestinal (

Detection of Serum IgG Specific for Brachyspira pilosicoli and “Brachyspira canis” in Dogs [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Brachyspira pilosicoli (B. pilosicoli) is a pathogen in pigs, poultry, and humans causing colitis, diarrhea, and poor growth rates. Its role as a canine pathogen is controversial, and the seroprevalence of specific IgG antibodies against B. pilosicoli in

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

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 ...

BPP43_05035 is a Brachyspira pilosicoli cell surface adhesin that weakens the integrity of the epithelial barrier during infection [PDF]

Gut Microbes
The anaerobic spirochete Brachyspira causes intestinal spirochetosis, characterized by the intimate attachment of bacterial cells to the colonic mucosa, potentially leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.

Correction to: The pathogenic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli forms a diverse recombinant species demonstrating some local clustering of related strains and potential for zoonotic spread [PDF]

Gut Pathogens, 2019
The article published in 2013 [1] described the use of the available Brachyspira multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme [2] to characterize the population structure of the intestinal spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli.

Comparative genomics of Brachyspira pilosicoli strains: genome rearrangements, reductions and correlation of genetic compliment with phenotypic diversity [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background The anaerobic spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli causes enteric disease in avian, porcine and human hosts, amongst others. To date, the only available genome sequence of B. pilosicoli is that of strain 95/1000, a porcine isolate.
