A novel PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the Brachyspira nox gene was developed. The restriction patterns for Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, B. pilosicoli, B. intermedia, B. murdochii, and B. innocens were highly distinct with two restriction endonucleases only. The assay proved to be user-friendly and robust.
