Characterization of the agent of swine dysentery based on deoxyribonucleic acid homology

Abstract
Chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) of five strains formally assigned to Treponema hyodysenteriae and Treponema innocens have been compared. The results of DNA-DNA-hybridization indicate that all the strains belong to the same species. The very low guanine-plus-cytosine values between 24.7 and 29.7 mol% are regarded as further evidence in favour of the reclassification of the swine dysentery agent as Borrelia hyodysenteriae (comb. nov. Blaha).
