Abstract:
The amount of glycogen in vaginal liquids decreases with Trichomonas vaginalis and this is connected with T. vaginalis activity in specimens. A glycogen-hydrolysed casein medium ("glycogen medium") added to vaginal liquid is a valid maintenance medium for T. vaginalis and therefore enables a direct test for antitrichomonas drugs to be performed.
