| Abstract: | A simple method for the isolation of Bacteroides nodosus from foot-rot lesions in sheep is described together with observations on the colony morphology of freshly isolated strains and variant colonies arising on subculture in the laboratory. Serological results from a study of English isolates demonstrate a multiplicity of types based on the K antigens as well as additional antigens common to all strains. |
