A new direct fluorescent antibody reagent, Monofluor, was evaluated for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis in fresh specimens. Monofluor was compared with Micro Trak and with cultivation in McCoy cells. Both direct systems were slightly less sensitive than culture, but no significant differences in specificity or sensitivity were noted between culture, Monofluor, or Micro Trak results.

Both human biovars of Chlamydia trachomatis were able to productively infect primary cultures of fetal rat brain cells. Infected brain cells released bacteria that reinfected McCoy cells well as other cultured brain cells. The chlamydiae infected cultured astrocytes but were never observed to grow inside neurons, suggesting a selective susceptibility of specific brain cells to chlamydial infect...

PURPOSE Little is known about the susceptibility of posterior segment tissues, particularly the human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE), to Chlamydia trachomatis. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibility of infecting the hRPE with Chlamydia trachomatis, and to examine the infectivity of different Chlamydia trachomatis clinical isolates for hRPE cells and the hRPE cell respons...

The (p, q)-growth of entire function solutions of Helmholtz equations in R has been studied. We obtain some lower bounds on order and type through function theoretic formulae related to those of associate. Our results extends and improve the results studied by McCoy [10].

The intracellular penetration and activity of linezolid in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and tissue-cultured cells (McCoy) were evaluated. Linezolid reached intracellular concentrations slightly greater than extracellular ones in both types of cell. The uptake was rapid and not saturable and was affected by environmental temperature and cell viability. Linezolid showed slight intracellular...
