GENOTIPOS DE LEPTOSPIRA SPP. PATÓGENOS DE ROEDORES EN LA ARGENTINA

Se caracterizaron molecularmente 22 cepas patógenas de Leptospira spp. aisladas de roedores en la Argentina mediante la técnica del análisis de repeticiones en tándem en múltiples locus. Los perfiles genéticos obtenidos coincidieron con los perfiles de las cepas referenciales de Leptospira interrogans Canicola serovar Canicola Hond Utrecht IV, Canciola serovar Portlandvere MY1036, serovar Icterhaemorrhagiae y Leptospira borgpetersenii Ballum serovar Castellonis Castellon 3. Se determinaron un total de cuatro genotipos diferentes provenientes de poblaciones urbanas y periurbanas de roedores en la Argentina.
