Prevalence of Brachyspira pilosicoli and “Brachyspira canis” in dogs and their association with diarrhoea

Veterinary Microbiology, 2010
The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of colonization with intestinal spirochaetes in dogs, and to assess their association with diarrhoea. To achieve this, faecal samples from 311 dogs were obtained between November 2008 and April 2009 and cultured for Brachyspira species. A total of 41 Brachyspira spp. isolates were recovered, and

Cecal Spirochetosis Caused by Brachyspira pilosicoli in Commercial Turkeys

Avian Diseases, 2005
Spirochetes that were identified as Brachyspira pilosicoli were present in the ceca of 7.5- to 18-wk-old turkeys with cecal spirochetosis and typhlitis. The identity of B. pilosicoli was confirmed on the basis of ultrastructural morphology of the cecal epithelium adherent microbes, immunohistochemical staining with a Brachyspira genus-specific ...

Brachyspira (Serpulina) pilosicoli Spirochetemia in an Immunocompromised Patient

Infection, 2002
The case of an elderly immunocompromised man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with fever, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea is described. Brachyspira pilosicoli was isolated from culture. The patient was treated with penicillin G i.v. and became afebrile. B.

Tiamulin resistance in porcine Brachyspira pilosicoli isolates

Research in Veterinary Science, 2006
There are few studies on antimicrobial susceptibility of Brachyspira pilosicoli, therefore this study was performed to investigate the situation among isolates from pigs. The tiamulin and tylosin susceptibility was determined by broth dilution for 93 and 86 porcine B. pilosicoli isolates, respectively.

Comparison of culture and biochemical tests with PCR for detection of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2006
Traditional culture and biochemical tests (CBT) were compared with PCR for sensitivity and detection of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli in seeded faeces and clinical samples from diarrhoeic pigs. A duplex PCR system was developed based on primers detecting the tlyA-gene of B. hyodysenteriae and the 16S rRNA-gene of B.

Extensive intestinal spirochaetosis in pigs challenged with Brachyspira pilosicoli

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2004
A field isolate of Brachyspira pilosicoli, the aetiological agent of porcine intestinal spirochaetosis, was inoculated by stomach tube into six 6-week-old pigs. All animals developed loose to watery faeces and were killed successively on days 8, 14 or 17 post-inoculation (day 17 being the end of the study).

Epidemiological studies of Brachyspira pilosicoli in two Australian piggeries

Veterinary Microbiology, 2003
The epidemiology of infection with the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli within pig herds is incompletely understood. To investigate this further, cross-sectional and cohort studies were undertaken on two piggeries. Faeces were subjected to selective culture, and DNA was extracted from growth on the primary media and amplified by polymerase

Immunomagnetic separation of the intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira pilosicoli and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae from porcine faeces

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2004
Porcine intestinal spirochaetes are fastidious anaerobic organisms and, as a consequence, it has been necessary to develop various protocols to enhance their isolation from or detection in faeces. Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is a method developed recently to improve separation of target cells from mixed cell suspensions.

Intestinal spirochetosis due to Brachyspira pilosicoli: endoscopic and radiographic features

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
We report a 31-year-old patient with intestinal spirochetosis. Colonoscopy revealed edematous mucosa with multiple erythematous spots in the proximal colon. Barium enema examination demonstrated marked edema with luminal narrowing and thumb-printing predominantly in the ascending colon. Numerous spirochetes were detected by histological examinations of

d-ribose utilisation differentiates porcine Brachyspira pilosicoli from other porcine Brachyspira species

Anaerobe, 2006
D-ribose utilisation was studied in 60 Brachyspira pilosicoli strains and 35 strains of other Brachyspira species, the majority of which were of porcine origin. Utilisation of D-ribose was demonstrated indirectly by measuring the reduction in pH of densely inoculated tryptone-peptone broth supplemented with 7% foetal calf serum and 1% D-ribose. Among B.
