Volume 4, no. 4, e00840-16, 2016. Page 1: The title should read as given above, and strain B-78 should be identified as B78 throughout. Page 1: The second sentence of the abstract should read as follows. “The 3.07-Mb genome consists of a 3.04-Mb chromosome and a 33-kb plasmid, with 2,603 proteincoding genes, 39 RNA genes, and 32 pseudogenes.” Page 1: Lines 16 to 19 of the second paragraph in th...

Several analogs of hygromycin A were tested in an Escherichia coli cell free protein synthesis inhibition assay and in a Serpulina hyodysenteriae whole cell assay. The aminocyclitol moiety is essential for antibacterial activity in both cell free and whole cell assays. However a 4'-O-allyl ether of hygromycin A aglycone showed an equivalent MIC to hygromycin A, while having a less potent IC50 i...

A slide agglutination (SA) test was developed to determine the serogroup of isolates of Treponema hyodysenteriae of serogroups A to F. Rabbit antisera which are normally used for serogrouping T. hyodysenteriae in an agarose gel double-diffusion precipitation test (AGDP) were not suitable for SA because they agglutinated isolates from more than one serogroup. The agglutination reaction was made ...
