Leptospiral 16S rRNA genes were detected in 13 blood samples from 74 febrile patients in north-central Bangladesh, and their sequences phylogenetically clustered with those of Leptospira interrogans or Leptospira wolffii.

Surface colonies of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Observations of colonial growth of Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona, BJ, on soft-agar (1% agar) plates revealed the presence of both surface and subsurface colonies. The organisms from both types of colonies appeared to be similar in motility, morphology, antigenic composition, and pathogenicity.

Wild rodents are natural hosts of Leptospira spp. and are exposed to various pesticides, some of which are immunotoxic. Rodent urine is an important source of infection for humans and other animals.

The passive diffusion ofLeptospira interrogans [PDF]
Motivated by recent experimental measurements, the passive diffusion of the bacterium \textit{Leptospira interrogans} is investigated theoretically. By approximating the cell shape as a straight helix and using the slender-body-theory approximation of Stokesian hydrodynamics, the resistance matrix of \textit{Leptospira} is first determined numerically.

Genome conservation in isolates of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Reference strains for each of the 23 serogroups of Leptospira interrogans yielded different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of NotI digestion products. This was also the case for the 14 serovars belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (with one exception).

TheLeptospira interrogans lexAGene Is Not Autoregulated [PDF]
ABSTRACTFootprinting and mutagenesis experiments demonstrated thatLeptospira interrogansLexA binds the palindrome TTTGN5CAAA found in therecApromoter but not in thelexApromoter. In silico analysis revealed that none of the other canonical SOS genes is under direct control of LexA, making the leptospirallexAgene the first described which is not ...

Global Proteome Analysis of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Comparative global proteome analyses were performed on Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni grown under conventional in vitro conditions and those mimicking in vivo conditions (iron limitation and serum presence). Proteomic analyses were conducted using iTRAQ and LC-ESI-tandem mass spectrometry complemented with two-dimensional gel ...

Leptospirosis is an invasive infectious and systemic inflammatory disease
Pathogenic Leptospira species are the causative agents of leptospirosis, a world-spreading zoonotic infectious disease. The pathogens possess a powerful invasiveness by invading human body through mucosal/skin barriers, rapid entry into bloodstream to ...
