Introduction

The leptospirosis is caused by spirochaetes of pathogenic species of genus Leptospira and is a emerging zoonotic disease worldwide [1] [2].

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1 million people become infected with leptospiras per year and 60,000 die from the disease worldwide (Costa et al., 2015; reviewed by Picardeau, 2017). The highest incidence is in tropical countries, as the climate and humidity favor the proliferation of this bacteria. In 5–15% of leptospirosis cases, clinical symptoms can progress to severe disease, which can lead to jaundice, renal failure, meningitis, hypotension, bleeding, multiple organ failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, and, in some cases, death [21 , 22]. The ability of some Leptospira species to grow in different conditions, such as in soil, water and in different mammalian organs and in the bloodstream, suggests that the bacteria must have different signaling pathways to detect the external environment in order to properly modify the bacterial biochemistry. physiology and behavior. Therefore, we can expect c-di-GMP to play an important role in Leptospira life cycle. However, to date, almost nothing is known about c-di-GMP signaling in Leptospira.
