Effect of Cycloheximide on the Infective Yield of a Genital Strain of Chlamydia trachomatis in McCoy Cells

Peter Karayiannis 1, Derek Hobson 1, Norma Lee 1
PMCID: PMC350691  PMID: 7263068

Abstract

The yield of infectious progeny of a genital strain of Chlamydia trachomatis in cycloheximide-treated McCoy cell cultures was 11-fold lower than that in untreated monolayers.
