- Brachyspira pilosicoli is a gram-negative, anaerobic, host-associated spirochete that colonizes the intestinal tract of animals and humans. It appears as a characteristic "false brush border" due to its end-on attachment to enterocytes of the colon where it interferes with intestinal absorption. B. pilosicoli is unique from other Brachyspira species because it colonizes a variety of domestic animals including pigs, chickens, dogs, wild birds, rodents, and humans. It is the causative agent of intestinal spirochetosis in pigs, chickens and humans. In particular, B. pilosicoli has been described as an important colonic pathogen of pigs and chickens, causing colitis and diarrhea resulting in depressed rates of growth and impaired production on farms where infections with B. pilosicoli may be endemic. Bacterial attachment disrupts the colonic enterocytes and associated villi, causing the symptoms characteristic of intestinal spirochetosis. Additionally, B. pilosicoli is associated with clinical disease in human infections where it has implications for public health. (en)
- Brachyspira pilosicoli es una bacteria anaerobia gramnegativa, con forma de espiral. Pertenece a la familia Brachyspiraceae o Serpulinaceae. La bacteria está enrollada sin apretar y mide entre 6 y 11 µm de largo. Tiene varios flagelos, insertados en cada polo de la célula y una pared celular de Lipopolisacáridos. Causa espiroquetasis intestinal en cerdos, pollos y personas, y también se ha aislado en otras especies como perros, roedores y caballos. Causa una infección zoonótica en humanos y se cree que la infección se origina en los perros. (es)
