Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona isolates were compared by variable nucleotide tandem-repeat typing. Most cattle isolates grouped together, while isolates from pigs and wildlife were distributed across several groups. Significantly, California sea lion isolates formed a unique group, providing evidence that these animals are maintenance hosts of serovar Pomona.
通过可变核苷酸串联重复序列分型对问号钩端螺旋体波摩那群菌株进行了比较。大多数牛源菌株聚集在一起,而猪源和野生动物源菌株则分布在几个不同的组中。值得注意的是,加利福尼亚海狮源菌株形成了一个独特的组,这表明这些动物是波摩那群血清型的储存宿主。
