Abstract
Spirochetes were isolated from rectal swabs of 2 homosexuals and the feces of a 3rd, using simple isolation techniques not previously applied to specimens of this type. The ease of culture of these organisms will enable their distribution and pathogenicity to be studied, particularly in relation to their significance in homosexuals.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
