This study shows that pathogenic Leptospira uses glucose under host-like temperatures, contradicting previous assumptions about its metabolic capabilities.

This study identifies metabolites from the soil bacterium Massilia that promote Leptospira growth, revealing a metabolic interaction between environmental bacteria and a pathogen.

This paper develops a deep learning model to estimate agglutination rates in the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for leptospirosis, achieving accurate results and improving model interpretability.
