title: Chlamydia psittaci: inclusion vacuole ultrastructure.
abstract: The inclusion ultrastructure of fibroblasts infected with Chlamydia psittaci (6BC) was studied. Electron microscopic techniques were used which permitted the observation of whole infected host cells and 1.0-micron sectioned preparations. It was shown that the cytoplasmic inclusion vacuoles of infected cells contained interconnecting structures within which chlamydiae reproduce.
