Description

Brachyspira hampsonii is a strongly beta-hemolytic gram negative spirochete that is provisionally classified as a species of Brachyspira and, like other Brachyspira species, causes swine dysentery (SD). Infection of B. hampsonii in pigs causes mucohemorrhagic diarrhea. B. hampsonii is also found in species of waterfowl, including feral ducks and geese. It is susceptible to tiamulin, valnemulin and carbadox. B. hampsonii can be distinguished from other species of Brachyspira by using 16S rRNA and nox gene sequencing.
