continued Spiral bacteria do not just occur in the stomach, but are known to inhabit human colons, and are known veterinary pathogens. Is the comment below true or false? Intestinal spirochaetosis (IS) in humans is caused by Brachyspira spp. The significance of the infection is controversial, yet it has been associated with chronic diarrhoea and other abdominal complaints. Human IS is usually an accidental histological finding in patients who undergo colonoscopy for diarrhoea or other reasons. Culture and isolation of spirochaetes are not routinely performed. True False
The statement was true The species hitherto identified in humans are B. pilosicoli and B. aalborgi. The former has been identified in many animal species including swine, whereas B. aalborgi has only been reported in humans, non-human primates and opossums. The species of Brachyspira found in humans seem to be related to geographic areas. Both Brachyspira spp. have been found worldwide. However, recent studies indicate that B. pilosicoli is a more common finding in developing countries, native populations in Australia along with some Asian countries and homosexual males, while detection of B. aalborgi seems to be less dependent of population in study. The prevalence of IS in humans is reported as low in western countries, e.g. between 2.5 and 5 % in humans undergoing colonoscopy. Click to read a brachyspira reference
