| Popis: | A better understanding of chlamydia psiftaci is required to appreciate and highlight fhe epidemiology of chlamydiosis. Chlamydial organisms are obligate intracellularpathogens that do not grow on artificial media. Different cell lines have been found to be efficient for fhe isolation of C. psiftaci. This study was conducfed fo identify the growfh characteristics of C. psiftaci in McCoy cell lines. Marked CPE was exhibited by the isolates in McCoy cell lines. In stained preparations rounding and clumping of cells, syncytia formafion and intracyfoplasmic inclusion bodies were noticed. To confirm the idenfity of the isolates, fluorescent antibody staining technique was used. Specific apple green fluorescing inclusions were observed which were very prominent by 96 h Pl. |
