A Dangerous Prey Fish? <i>Brachyspira</i>-Rich Gastrointestinal Microbiota in Pompano Dolphinfish From Neritic and Deep Waters of the South China Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reveals an unexpectedly simplified, Brachyspira‐dominated gastrointestinal microbiota in pompano dolphinfish from both neritic and deep‐sea habitats of the South China Sea. Environmental DNA and functional analyses suggest these fish may acquire potential pathogens in anthropogenically influenced coastal waters and transport them offshore ...

The Role of Short Journey Transportation in the Spreading of Swine Pathogens and Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The transport of live pigs poses a risk to on‐farm biosecurity. Trucks can carry pathogens with significant economic and health impacts, including antimicrobial‐resistant (AMR) bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the microbiological contamination of trucks before and after loading, focusing on AMR bacteria and other major pathogens transmissible ...

The Spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli, Enteric Pathogen of Animals and Humans. [PDF]

Clin Microbiol Rev, 2018
SUMMARYBrachyspira pilosicoliis a slow-growing anaerobic spirochete that colonizes the large intestine. Colonization occurs commonly in pigs and adult chickens, causing colitis/typhlitis, diarrhea, poor growth rates, and reduced production. Colonization of humans also is common in some populations (individuals living in village and peri-urban settings ...

Attraction of Brachyspira pilosicoli to mucin [PDF]

Microbiology, 2010
The anaerobic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli colonizes the large intestine of various species, including humans. In the colon this spirochaete can penetrate the overlying mucus layer, attach by one cell end to the underlying enterocytes, and initiate localized colitis and diarrhoea.

Development of a real-time PCR for identification of brachyspira species in human colonic biopsies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Brachyspira species are fastidious anaerobic microorganisms, that infect the colon of various animals. The genus contains both important pathogens of livestock as well as commensals. Two species are known to infect humans: B.

Severe Colitis with Portal Venous Gas Caused by Brachyspira pilosicoli Infection. [PDF]

Intern Med, 2019
We herein report a case of Brachyspira pilosicoli-caused severe colitis presenting with portal venous gas. A 75-year-old man was admitted because of a fever, severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. He was negative for anti-HIV antibodies. He had been in close contact with a dog earlier.

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
