Leptospira (LPSN link)

Leptospira serovars From the International Leptospirosis Society website: "At its 2002 meeting, the Committee on the Taxonomy of Leptospira of the International Union of Microbiological Societies approved the following nomenclature for serovars of Leptospira. Genus and species must of course be italicized, with the serovar name not italicized and with an upper case first letter. Members are requested to adhere to this official nomenclature and to insist upon it in all papers they review."
