Abstract

Twelve dichelobacter nodosus isolates obtained from ovine foot-rot lesions in Malaysia were characterised by the elastase and the gelatin gel tests to determine the virulence of each isolate. Although all isolates were obtained from mild foot-rot lesions with score 2 they varied in their virulence. Six isolates were found to be virulent four were intermediate and two were benign. Both test showed similar results in assessing the virulence of Dichelobacter nodosus isolates. None of the isolates were found to contain plasmid.
