Leptospirosis, a major zoonotic disease caused by pathogenicLeptospiraspp. is recognized globally as an emerging zoonotic disease. Whole-genome sequencing reveals hidden messages aboutLeptospira'spathogenesis. We used Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing to obtain complete genome sequences of twelve L.interrogansisolates from febrile patients from Sri Lanka for a comparative whole genome sequencing study. The sequence data generated 12 genomes with a coverage greater than X600 with sizes ranging from 4.62 Mb to 5.16 Mb, and a G + C content ranging from 35.00% to 35.42%. The total number of coding sequences predicted by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) genome assembly platform ranged from 3845 to 4621 for the twelve strains.Leptospiraserogroup with similar-sized LPS biosynthetic loci that belonged to the same clade had a close relationship in the phylogenetic analysis. Nonetheless, variations in the genes encoding sugar biosynthesis were found in the serovar determinant region(rfblocus). Type I and Type III CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) systems were found in all of the strains. Genome BLAST Distance Phylogeny of these sequences allowed for detailed genomic strain typing. These findings may help us better understand the pathogenesis, develop a tools for early diagnosis, comparative genomic analysis and evolution ofLeptospira.
