Treponema pallidum was successfully grown in subcutaneous chambers in golden hamsters. Abnormally long forms of T. pallidum were found in these chambers. The cause of this abnormality may possibly be due to their being coated with antibody which could inhibit cell division or render the organism avirulent or both. T. pallidum was successfully passaged between hamsters but with a possible diminution in virulence.
梅毒螺旋体在金黄仓鼠的皮下小室中成功培养。在这些小室中发现了形态异常长的梅毒螺旋体。这种异常的原因可能是它们被抗体包裹,抗体可能会抑制细胞分裂或使病原体无毒或两者兼而有之。梅毒螺旋体在仓鼠之间成功传代,但毒力可能有所减弱。
