Abstrakt: Normal swine urine, devoid of its microbial flora, diminished the viability and virulence of Leptospira interrogans serotype grippotyphosa. Bovine serum albumin diluent effectively offset the urine's deleterious effects. Membrane filtration (0.45 micrometer) rendered urine free of bacteria, but permitted passage of limited numbers of leptospires. Most of the commonly used anticoagulants did not alter viability of grippotyphosa in whole blood. However, EDTA significantly reduced the number of viable cells.
