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

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.

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 ...

Human Intestinal Spirochetosis Shows Higher Positivity in Sessile Serrated Lesions Than in Tubular Adenomas With Preferential Colonization of Absorptive Epithelium. [PDF]

Pathol Int
Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) positivity was significantly higher in sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) than in tubular adenomas (TAs). HIS preferentially colonized absorptive epithelium, which is abundant in SSLs but limited in TAs, indicating that differences in absorptive epithelial abundance account for the higher HIS positivity in SSLs ...

Novel multiplex TaqMan assay for differentiation of the four major pathogenic Brachyspira species in swine

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
A novel TaqMan 5‐plex real‐time PCR using a combination of locked nucleic acid‐modified (LNA)‐ and minor groove binding (MGB)‐conjugated DNA probes was developed for identification and differentiation between the four main pathogenic Brachyspira species ...

Assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials: Swine

EFSA Journal, 2021
In this opinion, the antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of pigs have been assessed. The assessment has been performed following a methodology based on information collected by an
