Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a growing zoonotic disease in tropical regions like Malaysia, prompting a study to create a genetic database using samples from humans, animals, and the environment.
- The research utilized a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method to analyze 46 DNA samples, successfully obtaining full genetic profiles for 36, revealing that most pathogenic strains belonged to the serogroup Bataviae.
- The study demonstrates the effectiveness of molecular techniques like multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and sequencing for detailed characterization of pathogenic Leptospira, enhancing understanding and potential management of the disease.
