Leptospira Serovar as Prognostic Factor
To the Editor: Herrmann-Storck et al. (1) investigated prognostic factors of leptospirosis and concluded that infection with Leptospira interrogans serovar Icterohemorrhagiae was linked to severe outcomes. We have concerns about this conclusion. These researchers were comparing clinical severity of disease among patients for whom serovars of infecting isolates had been identifi ed. However, in ...
متن کاملLeptospiral outer membrane protein induces extracellular matrix accumulation through a TGF-beta1/Smad-dependent pathway.
Leptospirosis is an underestimated cause of renal failure in Taiwan and elsewhere. The consequence of leptospira-induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is tubulointerstitial fibrosis if left untreated. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of an outer membrane protein (OMP) of Leptospira santarosai serovar Shermani on extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in proximal tubular cell...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the Proteome of Leptospira interrogans Serovar Canicola as a Resource for the Identification of Common Serovar Immunogenic Proteins
Over 230 serovars of Leptospira interrogans have been identified; however few have been completely characterised. The aim of this study was to characterise the proteome of serovar Canicola and to compare this against the serovars of Copenhageni and Pomona. 2D-LC/MS analysis identified 1653 Leptospira proteins in serovar Canicola; 60 of these proteins were common to Copenhageni and Pomona, 16 of...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of vaccination with the Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo type hardjoprajitno component of a pentavalent Leptospira bacterin against a virulent experimental challenge with Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis strain 203 in cattle. ANIMALS Fifty-five 6-month-old Holstein heifers. PROCEDURES Heifers that were negative for persistent...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Leptospira interrogans Serovar Bataviae Strain LepIMR 22 Isolated from a Rodent in Johor, Malaysia
Leptospira interrogans serovar Bataviae was recently identified as one of the persistent Leptospira serovars in Malaysia. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the L. interrogans serovar Bataviae strain LepIMR 22 isolated from kidney of a rodent in Johor, Malaysia.
