Abstract
Intestinal spirochaetosis results from infection with weakly haemolytic spirochaetes that are distinct from both Serpulina hyodysenteriae and Serpulina innocens (1, 2, 3). These bacteria only have 4-6 axial flagellae, and, belong to a newly-recognised genetic group with the proposed name "Anguillina. coli" ( 3). Disease is mainly seen in weaner and grower pigs, which develop a sloppy mucoid diarrhoea and suffer a reduction in weight gain ( 1). Similar bacteria are associated with intestinal spirochaetosis in humans (4). The purpose of the present work was to prepare and characterise a specific monoclonal antibody that could be used to identify isolates of "A. coli" in the faeces of affected individuals.
