Characterization of the fecal microbiota of pigs before and after inoculation with "Brachyspira hampsonii".

"Brachyspira hampsonii" causes disease indistinguishable from swine dysentery, and the structure of the intestinal microbiome likely plays a role in determining susceptibility of individual pigs to infection and development of clinical disease. The objectives of the current study were to d...
