TheLeptospira interrogans lexAGene Is Not Autoregulated [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2005
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]

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 ...

A Canine Leptospirosis Clinical Case Due to Leptospira interrogans (Serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae) in a Dog Kennel in Castelvetrano (Western Sicily, South Italy)

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Leptospirosis is a worldwide widespread zoonosis caused by Leptospira genus. We report an acute leptospirosis case in a puppy housed at a municipal kennel and the subsequent diagnostic investigations carried out on all dogs housed in the kennel ...

Leptospirosis is an invasive infectious and systemic inflammatory disease

Biomedical Journal, 2020
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 ...

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.

Leptospira interrogans Serogroup Pomona in a Dairy Cattle Farm in a Multi-Host Zootechnical System

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Bovine leptospirosis is an infectious zoonotic disease causing reproductive problems and economic losses in livestock. This work reports, for the first time in Sicily (South Italy), an outbreak of Leptospira interrogans serogroup Pomona that occurred in ...

Characterization of Three Novel Adhesins of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013
We report cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of three predicted leptospiral membrane proteins (LIC11360, LIC11009, and LIC11975). In silico analysis and proteinase K accessibility data suggest that these proteins might be surface exposed.

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.

Identification of Cell-Binding Adhesins of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Leptospirosis is a globally distributed bacterial infectious disease caused by pathogenic members of the genus Leptospira. Infection can lead to illness ranging from mild and non-specific to severe, with jaundice, kidney and liver dysfunction, and widespread endothelial damage.
