Abstrakt: Restriction endonuclease analysis of 16 Australian and 4 New Zealand isolates of Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona showed that they could be divided into 3 genetic groups. Most of the isolates closely resembled the serovar kennewicki reference strain, and they all differed from the reference strain of serovar pomona. Based on these findings, it is suggested that vaccine manufacturers re-evaluate their choice of serovar pomona vaccine strain.
