A STUDY OF METHODS FOR CULTIVATION AND ISOLATION OF GHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATlS IN GENITOURINARY TRACT
Chlamydia trachomatis in genitourinary tract were cultivated and isolated by culturing McCoy cells treated with cycloheximide. Of the 450 cases of cervicitis Or inflammatory diseases
234(52%) positive cultures were detected. 15(50%) positive cultures were detected in 30 cases of urethritis in men. It was suggested that genitourinary infacfions caused by C.trachomatis were common in our country. Of 249 positive cultures
73(29.3%) were detected by the second passage. Cycloheximide optimal concentration in inoculation media was 1-4ng/ml. Inclusion number of the samples centrifugad at 2000g was higher than that of uncentrifuged samples. Cells treated with cycloheximide
cefltrifugation
and a second passage were necessary for cultivation and isolation of the pathogen
