RESUMO
Resumen Se describe el primer aislamiento y la tipificación molecular de Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo Bovis en Argentina, obtenido a partir de orina de vacas abortadas de unrodeo de cría ubicado en Saladillo, provincia de Buenos Aires. Los abortos coincidieron con unperíodo de importantes inundaciones, en el que varios animales presentaron títulos serológicossospechosos y posterior seroconversión. El porcentaje de abortos alcanzó el 3,5% del total delrodeo, compuesto por 1700 vacas, y se aisló el microorganismo en 7 de 20 muestras de orinaobtenidas.
Abstract We here describe the first isolation and molecular typing of Leptospira borgpe-tersenii serovar Hardjo Bovis in Argentina, obtained from urine of aborted cows from abreeding herd located in Saladillo, Buenos Aires Province. The abortions occurred in coincidence with important floods with many cows presenting suspicious serological titers and subsequentseroconversion. The percentage of abortions was 3.5% of a herd of 1700 cows and the microor-ganism was isolated from 7 of the 20 urine samples obtained.

We here describe the first isolation and molecular typing of Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo Bovis in Argentina, obtained from urine of aborted cows from a breeding herd located in Saladillo, Buenos Aires Province. The abortions occurred in coincidence with important floods with many cows presenting suspicious serological titers and subsequent seroconversion. The percentage of abortions was 3.5% of a herd of 1700 cows and the microorganism was isolated from 7 of the 20 urine samples obtained.
