In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Brachyspira pilosicoli isolates from humans [PDF]
The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of the anaerobic intestinal spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli was investigated by an agar dilution method. Human (n = 123) and porcine (n = 16) isolates were susceptible to metronidazole, ceftriaxone, meropenem ...

Human intestinal spirochaetosis in Parma: A focus on a selected population during 2002-2005 [PDF]
Background and aim of the work: Human intestinal spirochaetosis (HIS) is a large bowel infection characterised by the colonization of the intestinal mucosa by spirochaetes belonging to the genus Brachyspira.

Development of a duplex PCR assay for detection of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli in pig feces [PDF]
A duplex PCR (D-PCR) amplifying portions of the Brachyspira hyodysenteriae NADH oxidase gene and the B. pilosicoli 16S rRNA gene was developed and then tested on DNA extracted from 178 porcine fecal samples. The feces also underwent anaerobic culture and

Phenotypic characteristics of Serpulina pilosicoli the agent of intestinal spirochaetosis [PDF]
The phenotypic characteristics of three Serpulina pilosicoli strains isolated from humans with diarrhoea (WesB, Kar, Hrm7) and two porcine S. pilosicoli strains isolated from pigs with intestinal spirochaetosis (1648, 3295), were compared with the type ...

Nutritional influences on some major enteric bacterial diseases of pig [PDF]
There are several enteric bacterial diseases and conditions of pigs that require control to prevent overt disease, to reduce morbidity and mortality, and to improve the efficiency of production.

Interactions between increased intestinal viscosity, post-weaning colibacillosis and intestinal spirochaetosis in weaner pigs [PDF]
Interactions between diet and enteric bacterial infections are complex and multifactorial. In production situations, more than one pathogen or disease may occur simultaneously.

Development and evaluation of polymerase chain reaction tests as an aid to diagnosis of swine dysentery and intestinal spirochaetosis [PDF]
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were established for detection of Serpulina hyodysenteriae, the agent of swine dysentery, and S. pilosicoli, the agent of intestinal spirochaetosis.

Intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira share a partially conserved 26 kilobase genomic region with Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli [PDF]
Anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira include both pathogenic and commensal species. The two best-studied members are the pathogenic species B. hyodysenteriae (the aetiological agent of swine dysentery) and B.
