Isolation, Oxygen Sensitivity, and Virulence of NADH Oxidase Mutants of the Anaerobic Spirochete Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae, Etiologic Agent of Swine Dysentery

Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae, the etiologic agent of swine dysentery, uses the enzyme NADH oxidase to consume oxygen. To investigate possible roles for NADH oxidase in the growth and virulence of this anaerobic spirochete, mutant strains deficient in oxidase activity were isolated and char...
