Optimization of Culture Protocols to Isolate Leptospira spp. from Environmental Water, Field Investigation, and Identification of Factors Associated with the Presence of Leptospira spp. in the Environment

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
The successful culture of Leptospira spp. from the environment is challenging. Here, we optimized the isolation of Leptospira spp. from water samples spiked with different species and initial concentrations of this organism.

Broth Microdilution Susceptibility Testing forLeptospiraspp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2004
ABSTRACTLeptospirosis in humans has traditionally been treated with penicillin or doxycycline. The choice of therapy offered at the time of initial patient presentation is often empirical, as definitive diagnosis can take weeks. Determining the activity of numerous antimicrobial agents against a wide range ofLeptospiraserovars may broaden empirical ...
