Abstract
Treponema pallidum cultivation is facilitated by substitution of methylprednisolone acetate suspension for hydrocortisone administration during rabbit testicular infection. Methylprednisolone suspension reduces testicular mononuclear cell infiltration and should benefit future studies of virulent T. pallidum.
