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.
报告了首次从褐家鼠肾脏中分离出两株属于安达马纳血清型的钩端螺旋体菌株。该血清型菌株此前从未在中东地区分离得到,在世界其他任何地区的任何啮齿动物中也未分离得到。本文讨论了其流行病学意义以及该血清型作为腐生双曲钩端螺旋体物种一部分的分类情况。
