RESUMO
Fifteen strains of chlamydial agents, 2 Chlamydia trachomatis and 13 Chlamydia psittaci, were tested for plaque formation on chick embryo fibroblast cells. C. trachomatis strains did not form plaques; 12 strains of C. psittaci did form plaques and 1 strain did not. The distribution of plaque sizes with C. psittaci strains was studied and it was found that the 12 strains could be tentatively grouped into three plaquing types: small (<0.50 mm), intermediate (0.50 to 0.90 mm), and large (>0.90 mm). Small plaques were predominantly associated with strains M56, ET, CP3, CT4, EBA, CS1, and CT2. Intermediate size plaques were predominantly associated with strains NJ1, VT1, and H81. Large plaques were predominantly associated with strains WC and OG. Plaque size appears to be related to virulence of Chlamydia for laboratory animals.
