The maintenance of Leptospira species in liquid or semisolid medium is time-consuming and at risk of contamination due to the needs of routine subculture and dark field microscopy. Using Leptospira Vanaporn Wuthiekanun (LVW) agar, we maintained 100 pathogenic Leptospira isolates for 12 months without the need for subculture and confirmed the viability of all isolates by the naked eye.
在液体或半固体培养基中维持钩端螺旋体属(Leptospira)物种既耗时又容易受到污染,因为需要进行常规传代和暗场显微镜检查。使用钩端螺旋体属(Leptospira)Vanaporn Wuthiekanun(LVW)琼脂,我们无需传代即可在 12 个月内维持 100 株致病性钩端螺旋体属分离株,并通过肉眼确认所有分离株的活力。
