Objective:
To investigate the optimal condition for in vitro cultivation of Trichomonas vaginalis for obtaining a better harvest of T. vaginalis.
Methods:
An isolate of T. vaginalis from clinical specimens was cultivated in three different media with initial inoculation of 9.0 x 10(4)/ml under pH 5.6.
Results:
There was distinct difference after 96 h incubation in the cumulative harvest of T. vaginalis. The highest harvest was received in cysteine/liver/peptone/maltose medium, followed by the liver/peptone/maltose medium and soybean/liver/peptone/maltose medium.
Conclusion:
The cysteine/liver/peptone/maltose medium may be a suitable environment for in vitro multiplication of T. vaginalis.
