Abstract
Chromosomal DNA fingerprinting indicated that Norwegian Taylorella equ igenitalis strains are genetically homogeneous and similar to some Swe dish isolates but different from other European strains. As contagious equine metritis is rarely a serious disease in Norwegian horses, we c onclude that the dominant T. equigenitalis strain in Norway is a genet ically homogeneous clone of low virulence.
