Effect of polybrene on isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis from clinical specimens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polybrene treatment of McCoy cells was used to increase the infectivity of Chlamydia trachomatis in vitro. The isolation rate for C. trachomatis in 500 specimens from males and females attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic and other clinics increased by 6.8% with the Polybrene treatment. The data also suggested that this treatment facilitated the diagnosis of low grade or latent infections.

متن کاملImproved isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis from a low-prevalence population by using polyethylene glycol.
The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis was evaluated in our laboratory. Initial range-finding experiments demonstrated that the number of chlamydial inclusion bodies increased with increasing PEG concentrations. However, PEG concentrations above 10.5% became progressively more toxic to the McCoy cell monolayers. When 50 frozen clinical Chlamydia isolat...
