[Homology study of leptospires in China with the OmpL1 gene].
Southern hybridization analysis with the OmpL1 gene was performed. The results of probing EcoRI-restricted genomic DNA from 18 strains in China showed that the homology fragments of OmpL1 gene were presented in 12 pathogenic Leptospira strains: sero-group Icterohaemorrhagiae (2 strains), Canicola, Ballum, Pyrogenes, Autumnalis, Australis, Pomona, Grip-potyphosa, Hebdomadis, Bataviae, and Sejroe, but they were not presented in the nonpathogenic Leptospira biflexa strain Patoc I, Leptonema illini strain 3055 and pathogenic Leptospira Serogroup Javanica, Tarassovi, Manhao and Mini.
