We evaluated various swabs for the recovery of Chlamydia trachomatis and found that only 7 of 14 swabs tested resulted in a greater than 50% recovery of organisms. Storage of chlamydial specimens at 4 degrees C for more than 1 day resulted in a rapid loss of viability, whereas freezing of specimens at -70 degrees C resulted in only a marginal decrease in the isolation rate.
我们评估了用于沙眼衣原体培养的各种拭子,发现所检测的14个拭子中只有7个拭子的微生物回收率超过50%。衣原体标本在4℃储存超过1天会导致活力迅速丧失,而在-70℃冷冻标本只会使分离率略有下降。
