title: Heterogeneity of lipopolysaccharide banding patterns in Leptospira spp.
abstract: Strains of Leptospira interrogans and Leptospira biflexa, examined by electrophoresis after whole cell lysis and protein digestion, revealed the presence of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate and an heterogeneous lipopolysaccharide electrophoretic banding pattern, which was characteristic of the species.
