Chlamydia trachomatis persistence in vitro: an overview.
Chlamydiae growing in target mucosal human epithelial cells in vitro can transition from their normal developmental cycle progression, alternating between infectious but metabolically inactive elementary bodies to metabolically active but noninfectious reticulate bodies (RBs) and back to elementary bodies, into a state of persistence. Persistence in vitro is defined as viable but noncultivable ...
متن کاملTyping of Lymphogranuloma Venereum Chlamydia trachomatis Strains
We analyzed by multilocus sequence typing 77 lymphogranuloma venereum Chlamydia trachomatis strains from men who have sex with men in Europe and the United States. Specimens from an outbreak in 2003 in Europe were monoclonal. In contrast, several strains were in the United States in the 1980s, including a variant from Europe.
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis: Molecular Testing Methods
Screening tests to detect Chlamydia trachomatis infections have advanced to permit the detection of nucleic acids from organisms. The development of these molecular assays that can detect and amplify the specific nucleic acids from the genes of C. trachomatis are called nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and they have expanded the range of available specimen types to include noninvasive s...
