Additionally, the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rrs) amplified from 27 randomly chosen flaB-positive samples was compared with previously reported sequences, including bat-derived Leptospira spp. A nested PCR based on the flagellin B gene (flaB) sequence was used to amplify the extracted DNA samples (n = 529) to detect the flaB gene of pathogenic Leptospira spp. Six flaB fragments (ZFB08-62, ZFB09-25, ZFB09-32, ZFB12-05, ZFB12-107 and ZFB12-110) in the FC5 cluster were related to the corresponding gene sequences, all of which were identical to Leptospira borgpetersenii strains including Jules, De 10, Arborea, Poi, and Veldrat Batavia 46. The phylogenetic analyses of flaB and rrs infer that genes from potentially pathogenic Leptospira spp. ./cache/cord-331237-t3z1hbox.txt ./txt/cord-331237-t3z1hbox.txt
