Abstract:
A repeated DNA sequence was isolated from Fusobacterium necrophorum biotype AB, strain FnS1. The repeated sequence shared considerable homology with the transposase gene from the Pseudomonas syringiae insertion sequence IS801. The repeat sequence was used together with a 16S ribosomal RNA gene probe to type F. necrophorum isolates using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The probes revealed differences between several clinical isolates and will be useful tools to study the epidemiology of ovine foot abscess and other diseases caused by F. necrophorum.
