Efficacy of ciprofloxacin against Leptospira interrogans serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae [PDF]
Ciprofloxacin activity against Leptospira interrogans serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae was studied in vitro and in an animal model. The MBC of ciprofloxacin was 0.6 microgram/ml. Three of three Syrian hamsters died 8 to 9 days after intraperitoneal challenge with 10(6) leptospires.

A quantitative PCR (TaqMan) assay for pathogenic Leptospira spp [PDF]
Background: Leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease. The differential diagnosis of leptospirosis is difficult due to the varied and often "flu like" symptoms which may result in a missed or delayed diagnosis.

Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

Quantification of Leptospira interrogans Survival in Soil and Water Microcosms [PDF]
ABSTRACT Leptospira interrogans is the etiological agent of leptospirosis, a globally distributed zoonotic disease. Human infection usually occurs through skin exposure with water and soil contaminated with the urine of chronically infected animals.
