Minimum inhibitory concentration of Brazilian Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains
: The objectives of this study were to characterize Brachyspira hyodysenteriae isolates and to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of strains obtained from pigs in Brazil based on the minimal inhibitory concentration test (MIC).

Intestinal spirochaetes colonizing aborigines from communities in the remote north of Western Australia [PDF]
Intestinal spirochaetal bacteria were isolated from 59 of 181 (32.6%) faecal samples obtained from Aboriginal children and a few adults living in communities in the Kimberley region in the north of Western Australia. Colonization was more common in young

The incidence of swine dysentery in pigs can be reduced by feeding diets that limit the amount of fermentable substrate entering the large intestine [PDF]
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that feeding diets which limit the amount of fermentable substrate entering the large intestine would protect pigs against experimental infection with Serpulina hyodysenteriae, the causative agent of ...

Fermentation in the large gut and swine dysentery [PDF]
Previous research (Siba et al., 1993a, 1993b) suggests that swine dysentery may be prevented in growing pigs that are infected with Serpulina hyodysenteriae by feeding a diet based on cooked white rice and animal protein.

Increasing the viscosity of the intestinal contents stimulates proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Brachyspira pilosicoli in weaner pigs [PDF]
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of increased viscosity of the intestinal digesta on proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli in weaned pigs.

Dietary control of swine dysentery [PDF]
In many parts of the world swine dysentery (SD) remains one of the most economically significant diseases of pigs. The condition results from infection with the aerotolerant anaerobic spirochaetal bacterium Serpulinahyodysenteriae, and may result in a ...

Manipulating the environment in the porcine large intestine using fermentable carbohydrates to control swine dysentery [PDF]
Swine dysentery (SD) is a contagious mucohaemorrhagic diarrhoeal disease with severe impacts on production efficiency in grower/finisher pigs. The causative agent of SD is the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae that induces inflammation ...

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.
