Isolation of a 'saprophytic' leptospiral serotype andamana from carrier rats in Israel. 1975

E Shenberg, and I Lindenbaum, and H Dikken, and M Torten

The first isolation of two leptospira strains belonging to the serotype andamana from the kidney of Rattus norvegicus is reported. A strain of this serotype has never before been isolated in the Middle East, nor from any rodent in any other part of the world. Its epidemiologic significance and the classification of this serotype as part of the saprophytic Biflexa species is discussed.
