| Name | Colonic spirochetosis |
| Description | Colonic spirochetosis (CS) is a disease caused by the Brachyspira genus, Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli. B. pilosicoli induces disease in both humans and animals, whereas B. aalborgi affects only humans and higher primates. CS is a polymicrobial disease characterized by persistent intimate mucosal epithelial cell attachment of spirochetes alone or together with certain enterohepatic Helicobacter species. Symptoms in humans include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal cramps. |
