Abstract: Leptospira strains show very large antigenic variation (serovars). Here, the rfb gene cluster is shown to be transferred horizontally within/among Leptospira species, discriminating serovar identity. Leptospira bacteria comprise numerous species, several of which cause serious… read more here.
