Isolation of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum strains still relies on rabbit intratesticular inoculation of clinical samples. In this article, we report an alternative isolation approach based on the inoculation of fresh and frozen needle aspirates of primary experimental lesions into culture plates suitable for in vitro propagation of the syphilis agent.
苍白密螺旋体亚种苍白密螺旋体菌株的分离仍然依赖于将临床样本接种到兔睾丸内。在本文中,我们报告了一种替代的分离方法,该方法基于将新鲜和冷冻的原发性实验性损害的针吸物接种到适合梅毒螺旋体体外繁殖的培养板中。
