Abstract excerpt
Leptospira interrogans belongs to a large family of important pathogens, which is part of the order Spirochaetales, a distinct group of eubacteria. In order to obtain a better understanding of the genetic organization of this species, we have constructed a DNA library of the serovar icterohaemorrhagiae, using the Escherichia coli vector pUC13. We have isolated Leptospira DNA fragments containing the genetic...
