Retention of motility of Treponema pallidum (Nichols virulent strain) in an anaerobic cell culture system and in a cell-free system.
Optimum parameters for retention of motility of Treponema pallidum (Nichols virulent strain) were found by anaerobic co-incubation of the treponeme with rat glial cells and anaerobic incubation in spent medium obtained from glial cells originally grown aerobically.
