Kinetics of leptospiral dissemination in mouse infected with LP strain. Five weeks-old C57BL/6 mice were i.p. infected with a sublethal dose of exponentially growing LP strain and the kidneys were fixed at 3, 10 and 21 days pi and processed for immunofluorescence. Leptospires were stained with FITC-labeled secondary antibodies (green) and actin were labeled with rhodamine-phalloidin (red). a Representative confocal images. b The number of colonized renal tubules were quantified in 10 fields of view at × 10 magnification. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments
