The exposed proteomes of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli. [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
B. hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli are well-known intestinal pathogens in pigs. B. hyodysenteriae is the causative agent of swine dysentery, a disease with an important impact on pig production while B.

Potential for Zoonotic Transmission of Brachyspira pilosicoli [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: 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 humans. B. pilosicoli is an important colonic pathogen of pigs and chickens (2).

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

Identification of small molecule inhibitors for the Brachyspira pilosicoli glutamate racemase (Bp-MurI) enzyme using a computational and experimental approach [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Brachyspira pilosicoli (Bp) causes intestinal spirochaetosis in poultry and pigs and more rarely in humans. In this pilot study, we used a computational approach to identify potential small molecule inhibitors for the Bp glutamate racemase (Bp-MurI), an ...

The intestinal spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli attaches to cultured Caco-2 cells and induces pathological changes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Brachyspira pilosicoli is an anaerobic spirochete that has received relatively little study, partly due to its specialized culture requirements and slow growth. This bacterium colonizes the large intestine of various species, including humans;

Evidence of homologous recombination as a driver of diversity in Brachyspira pilosicoli. [PDF]

Microb Genom, 2020
The enteric, pathogenic spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli colonizes and infects a variety of birds and mammals, including humans. However, there is a paucity of genomic data available for this organism.

Brachyspira pilosicoli-induced avian intestinal spirochaetosis. [PDF]

Microb Ecol Health Dis, 2015
Avian intestinal spirochaetosis (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 (GI) tract of poultry (principally, the ileum, caeca, and colon), which can cause symptoms such as ...

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 ...
