Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global importance in public health. The disease in humans is associated with the presence of the bacteria Leptospira spp. in animals; in urban areas domestic animals such as dogs play an important role in the transmission of the disease. Domestic canines infected with the bacteria can develop the disease or be asymptomatic carriers, eliminating bacteria in large quantities in their urine. This study aimed to standardize and implement a TaqMan Real-Time PCR assay to detect the presence of pathogenic leptospires in urine samples of domestic canines experimentally infected with standard strains of Leptospira spp. Urine samples were obtained from a clinically healthy dog, negative to the Microagglutination Test (MAT). The primers Lepto R and Lepto F specific for Leptospira spp. and a Lepto TaqMan probe were used, which amplified and hybridized respectively a portion of the rrs gene, differentiating between pathogenic and nonpathogenic species of Leptospira. Thermocycling program was standardized with 35 cycles of 95° C for 15 seconds and 60° C for 1 minute with an initial cycle of 95° C for 5 minutes. Ct values determined during the standardization of PCR were from 12.53 to 18.21 for the 25 pathogenic strains of Leptospira spp. In contrast saprophytic leptospira and other species of bacteria did not produce any specific Ct value. The standard strain was detected up to a dilution of 10² with a Ct value of 29.98 at an efficiency of 1.13 and a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.993. DNA was detected in infected urine samples from the dilution of 10⁷ leptospires/ml with a Ct value of 17.54 to a minimum dilution of 10² leptospires/ml with a Ct value of 29.87.
