Abstract
Leptospirosis is a globally emerging zoonotic
disease which has a signi cant impact on animal
and human health. In this study, DNA from
two rat isolates was extracted and subjected
to partial rpoB gene sequencing. In BLAST
analysis, the aligned sequences show a 100 %
sequence similarity with L. interrogans species.
Also, the positioning of rat isolates in phylogenetic
analysis indicates that the isolates were
grouped under the same pathogenic clade I with
L. interrogans serovar Canicola and L. interrogans
serovar Autumnalis and con rmed that all
the isolates were pathogenic type.
