Rapid isolation of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli from pigs. Veterinary microbiology, 2005, Feb-25, Volume: 105, Issue:3-4 The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the time required to isolate Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira pilosicoli from porcine faeces. This was done using previously described selective media (spectinomycin) S400, (colistin, vancomycin and spectinomycin) CVS and (spectinomycin, vancomycin, colistin, spiramycin and rifampin with swine faecal extract) BJ, compared with the method based on blood agar modified medium, with spectinomycin and rifampin (BAM-SR), including a pre-treatment step. Fourteen spirochaetal strains were obtained in pure cultures after 5 days (48 h in BAM-SR primary plate and three passages every 24 h in brain heart infusion (BHI) without antibiotics) pre-treating simulated samples in brain heart infusion broth with spectinomycin (400 microg/ml) and rifampin (15 microg/ml), before streaking on the selective BAM-SR medium. Spirochaetes from samples in S400, CVS and BJ, with and without pre-treatment, were obtained in pure cultures only after repeatedly transferring on plates of the same selective medium requiring 15-18 days according to the strain. BAM-SR used after the pre-treatment step showed a detection limit ranging from 3.5 x 10(2) to 6.7 x 10(7) cells/g faeces and was the only method able to support the growth of spirochaetes after 48 h.

A novel method for isolation of Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae from pigs with swine dysentery in Italy. Veterinary microbiology, 2001, May-03, Volume: 80, Issue:1 Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae was isolated from 10 of 11 pigs with clinically suspected swine dysentery in six herds in northern Italy. All strains were successfully isolated in the selective blood agar modified medium with spectinomycin and rifampin (BAM-SR) currently used in our laboratory to isolate B. (S.) pilosicoli of human origin, after pre-treatment of intestinal material with spectinomycin and rifampin in foetal calf serum. Isolates had phenotypic characteristics typical of B. (S.) hyodysenteriae. Topics: Animals; Brachyspira hyodysenteriae; Culture Media; Dysentery; Italy; Phenotype; Rifampin; Spectinomycin; Spirochaetales Infections; Swine; Swine Diseases	2001

A novel method for isolation of Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae from pigs with swine dysentery in Italy.

Veterinary microbiology, 2001, May-03, Volume: 80, Issue:1

Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae was isolated from 10 of 11 pigs with clinically suspected swine dysentery in six herds in northern Italy. All strains were successfully isolated in the selective blood agar modified medium with spectinomycin and rifampin (BAM-SR) currently used in our laboratory to isolate B. (S.) pilosicoli of human origin, after pre-treatment of intestinal material with spectinomycin and rifampin in foetal calf serum. Isolates had phenotypic characteristics typical of B.
