This report describes the detection of "Brachyspira (B.) hampsonii" clade I in Belgian pigs imported to Germany. Two of seventeen pigs from one herd were reported positive for Brachyspira hyodysenteriae by culture in a Belgian diagnostic laboratory, but negative for this Brachyspira species by specific PCR. In this study, from 22 fecal samples and 2 colon contents of these animals various Brachyspira species were cultured and identified by nox-RFLP as Brachyspira murdochii, Brachyspira innocens and Brachyspira intermedia. Albeit the six B. intermedia isolates proved to be negative in a species specific PCR. Sequencing of the nox-gene of three of these isolates revealed that the sequences were 99% identical to published sequences of "B. hampsonii" clade I. From one pig which was positive for "B. hampsonii" clade I histopathology was done and showed moderate lesions consistent with brachyspiral disease.
本报告描述了在德国进口的比利时猪中检测到“Brachyspira (B.) hampsonii”I 群。一家比利时诊断实验室的培养结果显示,一个畜群的 17 头猪中有 2 头为“Brachyspira hyodysenteriae”阳性,但特定 PCR 检测结果为阴性。在这项研究中,从这些动物的 22 份粪便样本和 2 份结肠内容物中,通过nox-RFLP 培养和鉴定了各种 Brachyspira 种,分别为 Brachyspira murdochii、Brachyspira innocens 和 Brachyspira intermedia。尽管 6 株 B. intermedia 分离株在种特异性 PCR 中呈阴性。对其中 3 株分离株的 nox 基因进行测序表明,这些序列与已发表的“B. hampsonii”I 群序列 99%一致。对一株“B. hampsonii”I 群阳性的猪进行了组织病理学检查,结果显示中度病变与短螺旋体病一致。
