Emergence of Brachyspira species and strains: reinforcing the need for surveillance
This short review discusses the increasing complexity that has developed around the understanding of Brachyspira species that infect pigs, and their ability to cause disease. It describes the recognition of new weakly haemolytic Brachyspira species, and the growing appreciation that Brachyspira pilosicoli and some other weakly haemolytic species may be pathogenic in pigs. It discusses swine dys...
متن کاملAbsence of a set of plasmid-encoded genes is predictive of reduced pathogenic potential in Brachyspira hyodysenteriae
The gene content of 14 strains of the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae was compared using a DNA microarray. A consistent difference occurred in a block of four genes on the ~36 Kb plasmid, with these being present in six virulent strains and absent in eight strains with reduced pathogenic potential. These genes encoded a predicted radical S-adenosylmethionine domain protein, a ...
متن کاملCorrection for Mirajkar et al., Complete Genome Sequence of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Type Strain B78 (ATCC 27164)
Volume 4, no. 4, e00840-16, 2016. Page 1: The title should read as given above, and strain B-78 should be identified as B78 throughout. Page 1: The second sentence of the abstract should read as follows. “The 3.07-Mb genome consists of a 3.04-Mb chromosome and a 33-kb plasmid, with 2,603 proteincoding genes, 39 RNA genes, and 32 pseudogenes.” Page 1: Lines 16 to 19 of the second paragraph in th...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Type Strain B-78 (ATCC 27164)
Reported herein is the complete genome sequence of the type strain B-78 (ATCC 27164) of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, the etiological agent of swine dysentery. The 3.1-Mb genome consists of a 3.056-Mb chromosome and a 45-kb plasmid, with 2,617 protein-coding genes, 39 RNA genes, and 40 pseudogenes.
متن کاملComparison of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Isolates Recovered from Pigs in Apparently Healthy Multiplier Herds with Isolates from Herds with Swine Dysentery
Swine dysentery (SD) is a mucohaemorrhagic colitis of grower/finisher pigs classically resulting from infection by the anaerobic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. This study aimed to determine whether B. hyodysenteriae isolates from pigs in three healthy German multiplier herds supplying gilts to other farms differed from isolates from nine German production herds with SD. Isol...
