  • Title: [An electron microscopic study of the interaction of Chlamydia trachomatis with human spermatozoa].
    Author: Mavrov GI.
    Journal: Mikrobiol Z; 1995; 57(2):74-9. PubMed ID: 7663746.
    Abstract:
    Interaction between Chlamydia trachomatis BU-34 strain, L2 serovar and human spermatozoa in vitro was studied by electron microscopy. Firm adherence of chlamydia to spermatozoa was established. The adherence took place to the head, neck, and proximal part of tail. Compact attachment of chlamydia of acrosome may induce morphological changes in the acrosome. It was shown that elementary bodies of C. trachomatis can partially penetrate to the cytoplasm of spermatozoa in the sites of their outer membrane impairment.
