摘要
An in vitro system was used to study the ability of virulent gonococci to adhere to vaginal epithelial cells obtained from healthy donors during the pre- and postmenstrual phases, and from those in early pregnancy. It was found that more gonococci adhered to the cells from donors in the postmenstrual phase than to cells from those in the premenstrual one. This difference was statistically highly significant. The attachment rate of gonococci to vaginal epithelial cells was similar in early pragnancy and in the premenstrual phase. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
