[The connection of the antigenic activity of Leptospira to its virulence].
Virulence of Leptospira cultures isolated in leptospirosis centres of different regions of Ukraine has been studied. It is shown that certain strains of leptospiras with high virulence several times exceed in their antigenic activity the standard strains and their introduction into the set of strains for the reaction of microagglutination and use for making diagnostic and, probably, prophylactic preparations are promising.
