| Popis: | A strain of Leptospira interrogans was isolated from a patient suffering from leptospirosis and was typed by the Gross Agglutination Absorption test using monoclonal antibodies prepared against different serovars of the Australis serogroup. This newly isolated strain belonged to serovar bratislava. It is the first reported isolation from man, in Italy, of Leptospira bratislava, thus supporting the emerging role of this serovar in human leptospirosis. |
