Abstract
It was carried out a comparison on two reference Leptospira strains DNA between different extraction methods and two polymerase chain reaction protocol. The DNA was quantified and serial dilutions were tested by polymerase chain reaction. The results showed difference in terms of recovery and sensitivity between this methods.
