FIG. 1.
Inactivation of C. trachomatis by incubation with equal volumes of 20 mM fatty acids and monoglycerides for 10 min at 37°C. The bars represent the levels of reduction of the log10 numbers of IFU. The levels of inactivation by capric acid and monocaprin (10:0) and by lauric acid (12:0) are greater than those indicated by the bars (>4 log10). Two percent ethanol had no effect on the infectivity titer.
