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).
