AB  - In this study, we reported rapid approach for identification of <I>D. nodosus</I> serotypes that causes footrot, higly contagious diseases of the ruminants in worldwide with using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. A total of 500 swab samples from infected hoof lesion were investigated for presence of <I>D. nodosus</I> by PCR amplification of <I>fimA</I> gene. PCR-SSCP patterns revealed that each sample contained two or three different <I>D. nodosus</I> serotypes. Additionally on the of basis SSCP patterns, 8 different serogroups (A- G and I) were identified from New Zealand samples. These findings were confirmed by cloning and sequences of <I>fimA</I> gene.
