Abstract excerpt
Colonic spirochaetosis, diagnosed based on the striking appearance in histological sections, still has an obscure clinical relevance and only few bacterial isolates from this condition have been characterized to date. In a randomized, population-based study in Stockholm, Sweden, 745 healthy individuals underwent colonoscopy with biopsy sampling.
