    Abstract: Twenty one clinical and sub-clinical sheep abscess disease isolates of <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> subsp. anaerobius in addition to two reference strains were analysed for polymorphism of X region of protein A (<I>spa</I>) and staphylocoagulase (<I>coa</I>) coding genes. Two genotypes were obtained for <I>spa</I> gene: all of the 21 Sudanese isolates in addition one reference strain being located in one genotype. With <I>coa</I> gene, three genotypes were obtained: one genotype contained all of the Sudanese isolates; each of the two reference strains stood alone in its own genotype.
