title: [Inhibitory impacts of Niaoluqing on urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the inhibitory effects of Niaoluqing, an oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine, on the growth of urogenital chlamydia trachomatis (Ct).
  
  
  METHODS
  Niaoluqing's applying concentration was 1 g/ml and 10 serologically untyped strains of Ct from the STD clinic were used. And the inhibitory effects of Niaoluqing on Ct was evaluated by McCoy cell microculture technique in vitro.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Niaoluqing had inhibitory activity for urogenital Ct, and was capable of reducing inclusion numbers notably in the concentrations of 50 to 200 mg/ml. The number and volume of Ct inclusions reduced gradually and disappeared finally with the rising of the medicinal concentration.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The traditional Chinese medicine Niaoluqing has inhibitory effects on the growth of urogenital Ct.
