title: Isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis from urethral scrapings of men.
abstract: Two strains of Chlamydia were isolated in McCoy cell cultures and hens' yolk sacs from urethral scrapings of men suffering from "nonspecific" urethritis. Their identification as Chlamydia trachomatis was based on cytoplasmic inclusions staining with iodine and on indirect immunofluorescence with anti-LGV serum. Both tests were performed in McCoy cells.
