Abstract

isolates from ovine virulent footrot and ovine benign footrot and bovine isolates of low virulence for sheep were distinguishable from each other by their proteinase isoenzyme patterns after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Variants of low virulence were not always distinguishable from their virulent parent strains. The molecular weights of the isoenzymes ranged from 70000 to 129000. The relationship of isoenzyme patterns to virulence is discussed.
