OBJECTIVE
To determine prevalence of various pheno- and genotypes of Serpulina sp in young pigs in relation to diarrhea and feed medication in Swedish pig-rearing herds.
METHODS
Isolation of spirochetes. Phenotypical and genotypical classification.
METHODS
Young pigs (n = 358) in 19 pigrearing
OBJECTIVE
Antimicrobial treatment may disturb the colonization resistance of gastrointestinal microflora, which may induce clinical symptoms, most commonly diarrhea. The severity of antibiotic-associated diarrhea may range from a brief, self-limiting disease to devastating diarrhea with electrolyte
Frequent incidence of Serpulina strains showing all cultural and biochemical characteristics of Serpulina (S.) hyodysenteriae except of being indole negative, and alpha-galactosidase positive isolates showing strong haemolysis on Columbia agar with 5% sheep blood and trypticase soy agar with 5% ox
Phenotypic characteristics of 100 strains pertaining to the group of mesophilic aeromonas isolated in feces of patients with diarrhea (23 A. hydrophila, 34 A. sobria, 19 A. caviae, and 24 considered atypical because produced a the negative esculin reaction and a positive gas formation from glucose
A PCR system for the detection and identification of group IV spirochetes (Serpulina pilosicoli) was designed to complement biochemical tests, e.g., the hippurate hydrolysis and beta-glucosidase tests, and to verify the accuracy of a previously proposed biochemical classification system. The PCR
BACKGROUND
Clostridium difficile is main reason of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in hospitalized patients. Diagnostic method for detection of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are limited to an enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), while the culture of toxigenic strains is still seen as the gold standard
BACKGROUND
One of the side effects of antimicrobial therapy is a disturbance of the intestinal microbiota potentially resulting in antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). In this placebo-controlled double-blind study, the effect of a multispecies probiotic on the composition and metabolic activity of
The effect of orally administered lactobacilli on acute rotavirus diarrhea was tested in 42 well-nourished children ages 5-28 months. After oral rehydration, the patients were randomized to a study group, receiving human Lactobacillus casei strain GG 10(10) colony-forming units twice daily for five
Brachyspira spp. were isolated from 21 of 32 sampled dogs (66%) in a colony of Swedish beagle dogs with a history of diarrhea and from 3 of 17 Swedish pet dogs (17%) with diarrhea. All Swedish isolates were weakly beta-hemolytic and gave a negative indole reaction. Eighty-eight percent showed
Gaucher disease (OMIM #230800) is caused by β-glucosidase deficiency and primarily involves the mononuclear phagocyte system (also called Reticuloendothelial System or Macrophage System). The disease is classified into three main phenotypes based on the presence or absence of neurological
N-substituted iminosugar analogues are potent inhibitors of glucosidases and glycosyltransferases with broad therapeutic applications, such as treatment of diabetes and Gaucher disease, immunosuppressive activities, and antibacterial and antiviral effects against HIV, HPV, hepatitis C, bovine
Since 2007, outbreaks of severe bloody diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis have been reported in the United States and Canada. Though the primary causative agent of swine dysentery is Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, which is strongly hemolytic, the current report describes the isolation of a novel strongly
