Taxonomy and phylogenomics of Leptospira [chapitre 16]

Résumé

Accurate identification of bacterial species is critical for epidemiologic, phylogenetic, and diagnostic purposes. The classification of leptospires has undergone several changes following the discovery of the leptospirosis agent more than a century ago. With the genomic era, the number of described Leptospira species has more than doubled in recent years. Genotyping, including whole-genome-based typing, allows discrimination of isolates at the subspecies level. Access to genomes has also facilitated the study of gene repertoire and virulence-associated factors. Herein we review the taxonomic classification of the genus Leptospira and highlight recent findings based on the analysis of genomes.
