Overview

  • Treponema brennaborense is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, motile, spirochete bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Treponema brennaborense is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Schrank1999)



  • This organism has been recovered from a cow suffering from digital dermatitis. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread (notes: animal pathogen). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
