Bloodstream infection due to Brachyspira pilosicoli in a patient with multiorgan failure.
Brachyspira pilosicoli is an etiological agent of human intestinal spirochetosis. Bloodstream infection due to this microorganism is rare. We report a case of B. pilosicoli bacteremia in a 70-year-old patient who presented with multiorgan failure.
متن کاملFailure to detect Brachyspira pilosicoli in bloodstream of Australian patients.
The isolation of intestinal spirochetes from the blood of a series of six French patients with a range of serious clinical problems was reported recently (3). These organisms and another from the blood of a patient with AIDS in the United States were subsequently identified as Brachyspira (Serpulina) pilosicoli (7). Intestinal carriage of B. pilosicoli occurs in Australia and is particularly co...
متن کاملNeither Hippurate-negative Brachyspira pilosicoli nor Brachyspira pilosicoli Type Strain Caused Diarrhoea in Early-weaned Pigs by Experimental Infection
A hippurate-negative biovariant of Brachyspira pilosicoli (B. pilosicolihipp-) is occasionally isolated in diarrhoeic pigs in Finland, often concomitantly with hippurate-positive B. pilosicoli or Lawsonia intracellularis. We studied pathogenicity of B. pilosicolihipp- with special attention paid to avoiding co-infection with other enteric pathogens. Pigs were weaned and moved to barrier facilit...
متن کاملBloodstream infection due to Mycoplasma arginini in an immunocompromised patient.
Mycoplasma arginini, an organism usually recovered from mammals, was isolated from the blood of a febrile patient with advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient's condition improved without administration of antimycoplasmal drugs. Simulation of blood culture showed that automated blood culture instruments may fail to detect the organism.
متن کاملEvaluation of PCR amplification from fixed caecal tissue to determine the infection of experimentally infected laying hens with Brachyspira pilosicoli
Avian intestinal spirochaetosis (AIS) is a condition arising from colonization of the caeca and colon of birds with anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus Brchyspira. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate PCR amplification from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue method for detecting infected laying hens with Brachyspira pilosicoli with the same primers that have been used for det...
