A simple method for the isolation of Bacteroides nodosus from foot‐rot lesions in sheep is described together with observations on the colony morphology of freshly isolated strains and variant colonies arising on subculture in the laboratory. Serological results from a study of English isolates demonstrate a multiplicity of types based on the K antigens as well as additional antigens common to all strains.
