Abstract
ABSTRACTPreviously, a novel Leptospira strain (BJ3) was isolated from the soil of an ex situ wild animal conservation area in Perak, Malaysia. Molecular identification via whole-genome sequencing confirmed that the strain was Leptospira yasudae. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of L. yasudae strain BJ3.
Highlights
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by helical bacteria from the genus Leptospira (1)
Default parameters were used for all software
Partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that L. yasudae strain BJ3 is closely related to L. kmetyi strain BejoIso[9]
Summary
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by helical bacteria from the genus Leptospira (1). Default parameters were used for all software. To characterize the serogroup/serovar of the isolate, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis scheme 1 (12) was performed and compared with the PubMLST database (https://pubmlst.org/). Traditional serotyping (microscopic agglutination test) was performed at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR), Malaysia, and the Pasteur Institute, France, against 46 local and global antiserum samples.
