Scientists at the premier Regional Medical Reference Centre (RMRC) at Port Blair have found that the bacterial species that causes leptospirosis is no longer socially aloof,
In July, leptospirosis came out of nowhere to kill 16 people in two weeks. The mutation study, published in a Federation of European Microbiological Studies journal in May, was a wake-up call for public health experts to find better ways to tame the bacteria.

some of the leading antibiotics used to treat acute leptospirosis in humans and animals,"said Dr Paluru Vijayachari, director of the Port Blair institute."
