It appeared that in spontaneous infection antibody-treated chlamydiae were neutralized by inhibition of attachment to cells. Centrifugation imposed a different effect: infection was inhibited at some step at or subsequent to attachment., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-114-1-61
