Abstract: Leptospira was isolated from environmental water in central Japan using selective medium comprising five antibiotics, namely sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, amphotericin B, fosfomycin, and 5‐fluorouracil. Of 100 water samples 57 (57%) were culture‐positive and 50 pure cultures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0009959
Abstract: Background Leptospirosis, caused by Leptospira bacteria, is a common zoonosis worldwide, especially in the tropics. Reservoir species and risk factors have been identified but surveys for environmental sources are rare. Furthermore, understanding of environmental Leptospira… read more here.
