Serpulina (Treponema) hyodysenteriae, an anaerobic beta hemolytic spirochaete, is the etiologic agent of swine dysentery. Not much is known at present about the virulence factors of S. hyodysenteriae. However, the hemolysin production of this bacterium is generally accepted to be a virulence factor.
