| ophthalmia neonatorum associated with maternal chlamydial infections. | an unselected sample of 142 pregnant women had a single cervical culture for c trachomatis at 36 to 40 weeks' gestation. of these women, 18 (12.7%) had positive cultures, and their infants were followed in postoperative fashion. of these 18 infants, eight (44%) developed ophthalmia neonatorum. a combination of cultures and conjunctival smears for giemsa staining and fluorescent-antibody examination for infected cells confirmed the diagnosis in 70% of the infants with conjunctivitis. however, 12 ... | 1977 | 878139 |
| antimicrobial activity of several antibiotics and a sulfonamide against chlamydia trachomatis organisms in cell culture. | minimum inhibitory concentrations of several antibiotics and a sulfonamide for growth of the 15 known immunotypes of chlamydia trachomatis were determined in hela 229 cell cultures. the concentrations for complete inhibition of infectious-organism production were (per milliliter): tetracycline, 0.02 to 0.5 mug; rosamicin, 0.05 to 0.25 mug; erythromycin, 0.1 to 0.5 mug; chloramphenicol, 10 mug; penicillin, 0.02 to 50 u; ampicillin, 0.1 to 50 mug; and sulfisoxazole, 2 to 200 mug. the same concentr ... | 1977 | 883821 |
| survival of chlamydiae after cooling to -196 degrees c. | factors influencing the survival of chlamydiae after freezing were reexamined. from the data presented, it is suggested that preservation of laboratory-grown chlamydiae is best achieved through the use of sucrose as the cryoprotective agent, in the presence of 10% serum. dimethyl sulfoxide and glycerol are more toxic. the period of exposure to sucrose before freezing must be kept as short as possible and be at 4 degrees c rather than at room temperature. the rate of cooling during freezing in su ... | 1977 | 886008 |

| endocarditis as a manifestation of chlamydia b infection (psittacosis). | a case of chlamydia b (psittacosis) endocarditis is described in a patient with no known previous valve disease. after mitral valve replacement a fall in chlamydia b antibody titre occurred. at repeat mitral valve replacement five months later for a paravalve leak no evidence of continuing endocarditis was present. direct confirmation of infection in the patient's apparently healthy budgerigar was obtained. aspects of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. | 1977 | 901690 |

| vaccination against feline pneumonitis. | a commercially available modified live chlamydial vaccine against feline pneumonitis was tested in 26 cats for its ability to protect against aerosol challenge exposure to the feline pneumonitis strain of chlamydia psittaci. after cats were challenge exposed (30 days after vaccination), pyrexia of greater than 40.0 c occurred in 81% of nonvaccinated (control) cats and in 13% of vaccinated cats (principals). evidence of upper respiratory tract disease and the presence of the agent in ocular fluid ... | 1977 | 921030 |
| limited survey of genital infection by guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis agent. | cervical or urethral scrapings were collected from 245 guinea pigs that had clinical signs of guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (gpic) or were parents of newborn young having clinical signs of gpic. giemsa-stained smears were examined for cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, and samples were passaged in 6-day-old embryonating eggs. complement-fixation tests were performed on 44 samples passaged through eggs in an effort to detect the presence of gpic antigen. unequivocal evidence of chlamydial infect ... | 1977 | 921034 |
