A new method of the preparation of liquid culture medium for the cultivation of Leptospira has been developed on the basis of multiple freezing and thawing of defibrinated rabbit blood. A higher productivity of the new medium in comparison with the medium used in common practice has been established. The medium having a new composition is suitable for cultivation of Leptospira and the accumulation of biomass. The advantage of the medium made is in addition to high growth properties, the its economic efficiency and availability for practical laboratories.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007919	Leptospira	A genus of aerobic, helical spirochetes, some species of which are pathogenic, others free-living or saprophytic.
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D001769	Blood	The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (BLOOD VESSELS). Whole blood includes PLASMA and BLOOD CELLS.
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D006461	Hemolysis	The destruction of ERYTHROCYTES by many different causal agents such as antibodies, bacteria, chemicals, temperature, and changes in tonicity.
