Microbiology reagents intended to identify species of Leptospira, a genus of finely coiled, motile bacteria of the family Leptospiraceae. Leptospira interrogans bacteria are the pathogenic species to humans causing leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is acquired by direct contact with the urine or tissue of an infected animal (e.g., rodents, dogs) or indirectly by contact with contaminated water, soil, or vegetation.
