Leptospira[‚lep·tə′spī·rə] (microbiology) A genus of bacteria in the family Spirochaetaceae; thin, helical cells with bent or hooked ends. Leptospira a genus of microorganisms of the family Treponemataceae; the causative agent of leptospirosis. There are two species of Leptospira: L. interrogans (parasitic) and L. biflexa (saprophytic). Leptospira have a thin axial filament surrounded by a cytoplasmatic spiral serving as the organ of locomotion (4–8 microns [μ] long, sometimes to 20 μ; 0.10–0.25 μ wide). Pathogenic leptospira die quickly upon exposure to sunlight, high temperature, acids, alkalis, and disinfectants. LeptospiraenUK
Leptospira [lep″to-spi´rah] a genus of aerobic, finely coiled spirochete bacteria with hooked ends. L. inter´rogans is the causative agent of leptospirosis.Leptospira (lep'tō-spī'ră), A genus of motile aerobic bacteria (order Spirochaetales) containing thin, tightly coiled organisms 6-20 mcm in length. They possess an axial filament, and one or both ends may be bent into a semicircular hook. They stain with difficulty except with Giemsa stain or silver impregnation. Associated with icterohemorrhagic fever. They include seven pathogens and three nonpathogenic species; the type species is Leptospira interrogans.
