TI  - Isoenzyme characterisation of Trichomonas vaginalis.
PG  - 250-6
AB  - Clones of 32 strains of Trichomonas vaginalis isolated from patients attending a 
      venereal diseases clinic were compared among themselves and with authentic 
      Pentatrichomonas hominis on the basis of their isoenzyme patterns for eight 
      enzymes by thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis. The enzymes examined were: 
      glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI); phosphoglucomutase (PGM); malic enzyme (NADP+) 
      (ME); hexokinase (HK); malate dehydrogenase (NAD+) (MDH); glucose-6-phosphate 
      dehydrogenase (G6PD); aldolase (ALD); and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). From the 
      isoenzyme patterns of four enzymes (LDH, MDH, HK, and GPI) the strains of T 
      vaginalis could be divided clearly into five groups. PGM showed differences in 
      only one strain, while two other enzyme patterns (ME and ALD) were the same for 
      all the strains of T vaginalis tested. All isolates were clearly distinguishable 
      from P hominis. Although G6PD patterns were not sharp some differences were 
      evident among T vaginalis strains.
