| interrelationship of chlamydia trachomatis and other pathogens in the female genital tract. | the isolation of neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, trichomonas vaginalis, and candida albicans in the female genital tract was studied in 1323 patients attending a venereal disease clinic. disruption of the cell monolayers use for the isolation of c. trachomatis was significantly associated with the presence of t. vaginalis; this effect was markedly reduced by the addition of vancomycin to gentamicin and amphotericin b in the transport and growth media. the only significant positive ... | 1977 | 412875 |
| recovery of chlamydia and genital mycoplasma transported in sucrose phosphate buffer and urease color test medium. | urethral swabs from 75 males with urethritis were extracted into tryptose phosphate broth and then equal aliquots were dispensed into vials containing sucrose phosphate buffer (2sp) and urease color test medium (u-9). no antibiotics were present in the media. after transport to the laboratory, the recovery of chlamydia trachomatis and ureaplasma urealyticum was evaluated after inoculation into mccoy's cell cultures and agar medium, respectively. c. trachomatis was recovered from significantly mo ... | 1977 | 319081 |
| treatment of tric infection of the eye with rifampicin or chloramphenicol. | an open trial was carried out on 63 patients in london to assess the efficacy of 1% rifampicin eye ointment in comparison with 1% chloramphenicol eye ointment in the treatment of sexually transmitted tric infection of the eye. patients included were selected on the basis of positive cultures for chlamydia trachomatis. three weeks' treatment with rifampicin eye ointment used 3 times daily was not sufficient to cure the disease, but a 6 or 7 week course gave 90% clinical and microbiological cure r ... | 1977 | 322700 |
| a new look at erythromycin. | this article reviews the current place of erythromycin in antibiotic therapy. overall, erythromycin is thought to be underused because: (1) the fear of resistance has been exaggerated; (2) significant toxicity has been associated with only one derivative (the estolate); (3) newer antibiotics have very rarely been demonstrated to be superior to erythromycin. erythromycin has an important place in treating acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections, acute otitis media, sinusitis, skin and ... | 1977 | 323837 |

| [treatment of chlamydial urethro-adnexitis with erythromycin]. | besides mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas chlamydias are able to cause an urethro-adnexitis in men. jeasts, trichomonas and herpes-viruses are in our patients of less importance. therapy with erythromycine of chlamydial urethroadnexitis is successful. | 1977 | 924327 |
| [role of chylamydia in the pathology of pregnancy and chronic gynecological diseases]. | for the elucidation of the role of chlamydial infection in pathological pregnancies, serological examination by the cft with group-specific and species ornithosis antigen was carried out on 723 blood serum specimens from women with obstetrical pathology, 124 specimens from patients with various chronic gynecological diseases and 124 control blood serum specimens from women with nromal pregnancy and favourable obstetrical anamnesis. the complement-fixing antibody (cf) was detected in 72 (9.9%) se ... | 1977 | 919504 |
| the microbial flora of the urogenital tract in women with symptoms of recurrent urinary tract infection. the non-influence of methenaminehippurate treatment on the idigenous flora. | recurrent urinary tract infections are known to occur among 5 per cent of all females. these women frequently have episodes of symptoms of lower urinary tract infection even between periods of bacteriuria. in the present study, 25 women with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections, found to lack signs of obstructive uropathy, were subjected to an extensive urological and microbiological survey. the investigation showed that (i) "pyuria" was common (9/12) but usually of urethral origin, ( ... | 1978 | 640797 |
| [isolation of chlamydia in keratoconjunctivitis]. | two isolates, identified as chlamydia (neorickettsia) were obtained from the lacrimal secretion of calves with an acute infection on two of a total of four investigated farms with a record of infectious keratoconjunctivitis. in about 70% of the calves that survived there were complement-fixing antibodies against the neorickettsial antigen, the titers ranging from 1:8 to 1:64. calves that yielded the causative agent were investigated in terms of the antibody dynamics. in the remaining herds no sp ... | 1978 | 726244 |
| prediction of efficacy of antimicrobial agents in treatment of infections due to chlamydia trachomatis. | although chlamydia trachomatis is readily eradicated by systemic therapy in patients with acute urethritis, systemic therapy is less satisfactory in treatment of chronic trachoma. the activities of antimicrobial agents against c. trachomatis in cell cultures when the antimicrobial agents are added 1 hr after the c. trachomatis (minimal inhibitory concentration [mic]) predicts efficacy of the drugs in the treatment of urethritis but does not necessarily predict efficacy in the treatment of chroni ... | 1978 | 712119 |

| chlamydia trachomatis as a cause of acute "idiopathic" epididymitis. | to assess the etiologic role of c. trachomatis and other micro-organisms in "idiopathic" epididymitis, 23 men underwent microbiologic studies, including cultures of epididymal aspirates in 16. eleven of 13 men under the age of 35 years had c. trachomatis infection whereas eight of 10 over 35 had coliform urinary-tract infection. cultures of epididymal aspirates yielded c. trachomatis alone in five of six men under 35, and coliform bacteria alone in five of 10 over 35. these results suggest that ... | 1978 | 622087 |
| psittacosis outbreak in employees of a turkey-processing plant. | in june 1976, 28 employees of a nebraska poultry processing plant had clinical onset of an illness compatible with psittacosis. the diagnosis was serologically confirmed in 22 patients by fourfold or greater changes in their complement fixation antibody titers, using a chlamydia group antigen. lack of serologic response in the remaining patients could not be readily explained by therapy differences, timing of serologic evaluation, or severity of clinical illness. the comparable attack rates in t ... | 1978 | 623096 |
| division of single host cells after infection with chlamydiae. | mouse fibroblasts (l cells) were infected in suspension with chlamydia psittaci (6bc) and then plated out on a solid substrate at a density of 80 cells per cm2 so that the effect of chlamydial infection on the division of single host cells and their progeny could be determined. uninfected l cells multiplied with a mean generation time of 15 h. the generation time of single l cells infected with 1.5 50% infectious units (id50) of c. psittaci was over twice as long. half of the infected l cells ha ... | 1978 | 624590 |
| chlamydia trachomatis infant pneumonitis: comparison with matched controls and other infant pneumonitis. | we determined the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis infection in 30 consecutive hospitalized infants less than six months of age with pneumonitis and in 28 matched controls (nine of 30 vs. one of 28. p less than 0.05). in comparing 16 cases of pneumonitis due to c. trachomatis with 27 not due to that agent, we found several distinguishing clinical and laboratory features: c. trachomatis was highly correlated with radiographic hyperinflation, prolonged cough and congestion, greater than or equa ... | 1978 | 628397 |
