Comparison of antigenic properties among various strains of Treponema hyodysenteriae.
Agglutinin-absorption and precipitin-absorption studies demonstrated that three strains of Treponema hyodysenteriae isolated from cases of swine dysentery were antigenically different from each other and also from a spirochete isolated from a clinically normal dog. Each of the strains of T. hyodysenteriae also possessed two common antigens.
