Brachyspira aalborgi explained

Brachyspira aalborgi is a species of bacteria, one of the causative agents of intestinal spirochetosis.^{[1] [2]} Its cells are anaerobic, sigmoidal with tapered ends, 2 to 6 μm long. Four flagella are inserted at each end of the cells. The maximal cell width is about 0.2 μm. The type strain is 513A (NCTC 11492).^[3]
