Colonic Spirochetes: What Has Genomics Taught Us?

Current topics in microbiology and immunology - 1 Jan 2000

Hampson David John, Wang Penghao

Abstract excerpt

The 'colonic' spirochetes assigned to the genus Brachyspira are slow-growing anaerobic bacteria. The genus includes both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species, and these variously colonise the large intestines of different species of birds and animals, including humans. Scientific understanding of the physiology and molecular biology of Brachyspira spp. remains very limited compared with that of other pathogenic...
