Molecular and genomic characterization of Leptospira isolates in humans and its relation to disease severity

Following sequencing, we identified the predominant species as L. interrogans (91 %) with case fatality rate of 19 %. They are found in animal population of our area, pointing the zoonotic potential of Leptospira. This highlights the need for sensitization of those with animal exposure regarding preventive strategies.

Abstract

Following sequencing, we identified the predominant species as L. interrogans (91 %) with case fatality rate of 19 %. They are found in animal population of our area, pointing the zoonotic potential of Leptospira. This highlights the need for sensitization of those with animal exposure regarding preventive strategies.
