Five Bedsonia (Chlamydia) isolates from lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) patients were tested for inclusion type, sulfonamide sensitivity, and mouse virulence. Two matched the classical description of LGV agents. Two were not virulent for mice by the intracerebral route, therefore fitting the description for trachoma-inclusion conjunctivitis agents. One was highly virulent for mice and sulfonamide-resistant, and produced inclusions that did not stain with iodine, all characteristics generally associated with avian bedsoniae. A sixth isolate could not be adequately tested due to poor infective yields. Because of this variety of properties within the Bedsonia group, the term LGV might more appropriately be reserved for clinical disease rather than to describe a particular bedsonial agent.
对从性病性淋巴肉芽肿(LGV)患者中分离出的5株贝氏衣原体(衣原体)菌株进行了包涵体类型、磺胺敏感性和小鼠毒力检测。其中两株符合LGV病原体的经典描述。两株经脑内途径对小鼠无致病性,因此符合沙眼-包涵体结膜炎病原体的描述。一株对小鼠具有高毒力且耐磺胺,产生的包涵体不能被碘染色,所有这些特征通常与禽贝氏衣原体相关。由于感染产量低,第六株分离株无法进行充分检测。由于贝氏衣原体组内存在这种多样性,“LGV”一词可能更适合用于临床疾病,而不是描述特定的贝氏病原体。
