Intestinal spirochaetosis [PDF]
Gut, 1971 An abnormal condition of the large intestine is described in which the surface epithelium is infested by short spirochaetes. Diagnosis can be made by light microscopy. A review of 14 cases diagnosed by rectal biopsy and 62 cases involving the appendix shows no consistent symptom complex. The possible significance is discussed.

Intestinal spirochaetosis. [PDF]
Postgrad Med J, 1994 Summary Two cases of intestinal spirochaetosis are described. The first case improved with treatment while the second case improved spontaneously without any intervention. Controversy over treatment and pathogenicity of intestinal spirochaetosis is discussed with review of previous publications.

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

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 ...

Intestinal spirochaetosis mimicking acute appendicitis with review of the literature. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2017 Human intestinal spirochaetosis is a well-established micro-organism existing in the colon. It is less commonly seen in the appendix, and rarely presents as acute appendicitis. We present a case of a man presenting with symptoms consistent with acute appendicitis. The literature on spirochaetosis presenting as acute appendicitis is also reviewed.

Observations on avian intestinal spirochaetosis [PDF]
Veterinary Quarterly, 1990 Three SPF-laying hens were inoculated into the crop with avian intestinal spirochaetes which previously had been passaged in broiler chicks by oral inoculation (isolate 1380). Mild persisting gastrointestinal disorder developed; at nine months post inoculation spirochaetes were readily demonstrated in caecal faeces. Histologic examination of the caecal

Human intestinal spirochaetosis in northern Japan [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2010 A histological diagnosis of human intestinal spirochaetosis (HIS) was made in 114 patients during the period 1994–2007. All patients lived in three prefectures in the northern part of Honshu, Japan. Most patients were elderly and male. Twenty-nine patients complained of abdominal pain, bloody stools, diarrhoea or bowel symptoms, but most patients ...

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli Proteins Recognized by Sera of Challenged Pigs [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The spirochetes Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli are pig intestinal pathogens that are the causative agents of swine dysentery (SD) and porcine intestinal spirochaetosis (PIS), respectively.
