Description

Used with Leptospira Medium Base EMJH in cultivating Leptospira. BD™ Difco™ Leptospira Enrichment EMJH is a lyophilized media additive. The solution contains albumin, polysorbate 80 and additional growth factors for Leptospira.

The basal medium and enrichment are prepared according to the formulations described by Ellinghausen and McCullough, as modified by Johnson and Harris (by replacing rabbit serum medium with polysorbate 80-albumin). Leptospira Medium EMJH is recommended for the clinical isolation of Leptospira from clinical specimens and environmental samples. The Enrichment media contains albumin, polysorbate 80 and additional growth factors for Leptospira.

In 1886, Adolf Weil described the first recognized leptospiral infections in humans. These cases were caused by Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae and the disease was subsequently named Weil’s Disease. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, with infection usually resulting from direct or indirect exposure to the urine of leptospiruric animals.
