Leptospira kmetyi sp. nov., isolated from an environmental source in Malaysia.

A single Leptospira strain (designated Bejo-Iso9T) was isolated from a soil sample taken in Johor, Malaysia. The isolate showed motility and morphology typical of the genus Leptospira under darkfield microscopy. Cells were found to be 10–13 mm in length and 0.2 mm in diameter, with a wavelength o...
