Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni str. Fiocruz L1-130

Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni str. Fiocruz L1-130 is a pathogenic, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and presence of flagella. This organism is an aerobic microbe and thrives optimally at a temperature of 28°C, falling within the mesophilic temperature range. It is associated with host environments, indicating its role in infectious diseases. The strain possesses two replicons, which are essential for its genetic stability and replication. Furthermore, Leptospira interrogans str. Fiocruz L1-130 has two membranes, a feature typical of Gram-negative bacteria, which may contribute to its pathogenic mechanisms. The pathogenicity of this strain underscores its relevance in public health, as it is known to be associated with leptospirosis, a significant zoonotic disease. The strain is cataloged under the accession numbers NC_005823.1 and NC_005824.1, which provide a reference for its genomic data in scientific databases. Understanding the specific traits of Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni str. Fiocruz L1-130 can offer insights into its ecological niche and role in disease transmission. The bacterium’s association with hosts suggests it may have adaptations that facilitate survival and propagation in specific environments, thereby influencing the epidemiology of leptospirosis.
