Definitive identification of pathogenic leptospires is crucial to instigate treatment and control of leptospirosis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which is considered as a sensitive and specific assay has been useful in the rapid identification of pathogenic leptospires. The lipL32 gene encoding ma...
