Surface colonies of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981
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.

Global Proteome Analysis of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

Journal of Proteome Research, 2009
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 ...

The passive diffusion ofLeptospira interrogans [PDF]

Physical Biology, 2014
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 features of Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004
We report novel features of the genome sequence of Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni, a highly invasive spirochete. Leptospira species colonize a significant proportion of rodent populations worldwide and produce life-threatening infections in mammals.

Penicillin-Binding Proteins in Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2001
ABSTRACT The Leptospira interrogans ponA and pbpB genes were isolated and characterized. ponA and pbpB encode the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1 and 3, respectively.

Genome conservation in isolates of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1991
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).

Proteome Analysis of Leptospira interrogans Virulent Strain [PDF]

The Open Microbiology Journal, 2009
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic infection of human and veterinary concern. Caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira , the disease presents greater incidence in tropical and subtropical regions.

Mouse Model for Sublethal Leptospira interrogans Infection [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2015
ABSTRACT Although Leptospira can infect a wide range of mammalian species, most studies have been conducted in golden Syrian hamsters, a species particularly sensitive to acute disease. Chronic disease has been well characterized in the rat, one of the natural reservoir hosts.

Unique organization of Leptospira interrogans rRNA genes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1989
We cloned Sau3AI fragments containing the rRNA genes for Leptospira interrogans serovar canicola strain Moulton in the BamHI site of lambda EMBL3 bacteriophage DNA. Physical maps of the fragments were constructed, and the locations of the rRNA genes were determined by Southern blot hybridization and S1 protection.

Glycolipoprotein Cytotoxin from Leptospira interrogans serovar copenhageni [PDF]

Microbiology, 1986
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), glycolipoprotein (GLP) and lipid extract were prepared from Leptospira interrogans serovar copenhageni. GLP, lipid extract or purified fatty acids from lipid extract produced cytotoxic effects seen as cell enzyme leakage followed by cytotoxic death when tested in mouse fibroblast L929 cells in tissue culture. All extracts also
