Abstract
Dichelobacter nodosus was detected in three clinical cases of ovine footrot in Kashmir, India. The detection was done by PCR in three clinical specimens directly, without isolating the organism, using species-specific 16S rDNA primers. Positive results were indicated by amplification of a 783 bp product. All the three samples were subjected to serogrouping by multiplex PCR using group (A-I) specific primers. All the three samples revealed the presence of serogroup B of D. nodosus by yielding a single band of 283 bps.
