Query: NC_008508:481000 Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo-bovis L550 chromosome 1, Lineage: Leptospira borgpetersenii; Leptospira; Leptospiraceae; Spirochaetales; Spirochaetes; Bacteria General Information: This strain was isolated from a human clinical sample. Bacterial pathogens of cattle that cause zoonotic infections in humans. This organism is a bacterial pathogen of cattle. This organism colonizes in the kidney and reproductive tracts of infected animals. There is also a risk of zoonotic infections in humans, especially those who work with cattle.

General Information: This genera consists of organisms typically found in the intestines of mammals, although through fecal contamination they can appear in sewage, soil, and water. They cause a number of infections that are becoming increasingly a problem due to the number of antibiotic resistance mechanisms these organisms have picked up. Both Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium cause similar diseases in humans, and are mainly distinguished by their metabolic capabilities. This opportunistic pathogen can cause urinary tract infections, bacteremia (bacteria in the blood), and infective endocarditis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart), similar to infections caused by Enterococcus faecium and faecalis. Hospital-acquired infections from this organism are on the rise due to the emergence of antiobiotic resistance strains.
