A method for isolating leptospires from natural surface waters

Abstract
A method for isolation of leptospirae from natural surface waters with initial inoculation under field conditions is described. Leptospirae were isolated from 19 of 51 water samples obtained from five Iowa streams. The problem of coincidental contamination was successfully resolved by using Millipore filtration schema and serum containing liquid and semisolid media.
