Morphologic and molecular evaluation of Chlamydia trachomatis growth in human endocervix reveals distinct growth patterns
In vitro models of Chlamydia trachomatis growth have long been studied to predict growth in vivo. Alternative or persistent growth modes in vitro have been shown to occur under the influence of numerous stressors but have not been studied in vivo. Here, we report the development of methods for sampling human infections from the endocervix in a manner that permits a multifaceted analysis of the ...
متن کاملGrowth of Chlamydia trachomatis in enucleated cells.
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite of eucaryotic cells. Little is known about the role of the host in supporting chlamydial replication beyond the facts that host cells provide ATP and that de novo host protein synthesis is not required for bacterial growth. To further explore potential contributions of host nuclear function to chlamydial development, we questioned whet...
متن کاملInhibition of growth of Chlamydia trachomatis by human gamma interferon.
Treatment of HEp-2 cell cultures with highly purified human gamma interferon before infection resulted in the reduction of Chlamydia trachomatis (L2/434/Bu) infectious particle yield. Electron microscope studies showed that interferon did not affect chlamydial conversion to reticulate bodies but influenced the extent of maturation to elementary bodies. High interferon concentrations (greater th...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis in Women with Endometriosis
Background and Aims: Endometriosis is considered to be one of the most common women's diseases in the world. The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown. In this study, the bacterial agents were considered as the probable factors influencing this disease and the frequency of two bacteria U. urealyticum and C. trachomatis was studied in this disease. Materials and Methods: This study was perfor...
متن کاملIvermectin Inhibits Growth of Chlamydia trachomatis in Epithelial Cells
Ivermectin is currently approved for treatment of both clinical and veterinary infections by nematodes, including Onchocerca cervicalis in horses and Onchocerca volvulus in humans. However, ivermectin has never been shown to be effective against bacterial pathogens. Here we show that ivermectin also inhibits infection of epithelial cells by the bacterial pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, at dose...
