随着实时PCR技术的日益普及，钩端螺旋体的分离已被广泛用于钩端螺旋体病的诊断。然而，收集钩端螺旋体分离株对于更好地了解这种复杂的人畜共患病的流行病学并为研究人员提供不同的分离株具有重要的价值。在本研究中，我们成功地从BacT/Alert有氧血培养瓶中分离出不同的钩端螺旋体菌株，这表明这种优越的生物材料为钩端螺旋体的分离提供了机会。(C) 2017爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
With the increasing use of real-time PCR techniques, Leptospira isolation has mostly been abandoned for the diagnosis of human leptospirosis. However, there is a great value of collecting Leptospira isolates to better understand the epidemiology of this complex zoonosis and to provide the researchers with different isolates. In this study, we have successfully isolated different Leptospira strains from BacT/Alert aerobic blood culture bottles and suggest that this privileged biological material offers an opportunity to isolate leptospires.
