    Journal: Rev Soc Bras Med Trop; 2017; 50(3):396-398. PubMed ID: 28700061.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION:: Leptospirosis is an important health concern in Brazil. Currently, information on the epidemiology of the disease in the rural areas of the country is lacking. METHODS:: Serological and molecular techniques were used to characterize a clinical isolate of Leptospira. RESULTS:: The strain CLEP 00060, isolated from a 59-year-old man in a rural area of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, was identified as belonging to L. kirschneri serogroup Pomona serovar Mozdok. CONCLUSIONS:: This study contributes to the local epidemiological knowledge of leptospirosis, prevention of the disease by vaccines, and improvements in its diagnosis.
