  • Title: Variation in virulence among oculogenital serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis in experimental genital tract infection.
    Author: Ito JI, Lyons JM, Airo-Brown LP.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 1990 Jun; 58(6):2021-3. PubMed ID: 2341189.
    Abstract:
    Seven different oculogenital serovars (D, E, F, G, H, I, and K) of Chlamydia trachomatis were inoculated intravaginally into CF-1 mice, and subsequent infection was monitored. The duration of infection was longest with serovars D and E. This may help to explain clinical surveys which demonstrate a high (50%) prevalence of these serovars. Furthermore, a comparison of the invasiveness of strains D and H demonstrated a much higher frequency of uterine horn infection with serovar D.
