DNA probe for detection of the Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo genotype hardjo-bovis.

R B LeFebvre 1
PMCID: PMC269454  PMID: 2826538

Abstract

A DNA probe is described for the diagnostic and taxonomic identification of the North American cattle pathogen Leptospira interrogans genotype hardjo-bovis. The probe is specific for this genotype and does not hybridize to genomic DNA of any other leptospire pathogen commonly found in North America.
