Successful isolation of Treponema pallidum strains from patients' cryopreserved ulcer exudate using the rabbit model.

Successful isolation of Treponema pallidum strains from patients' cryopreserved ulcer exudate using the rabbit model.

Clinical isolates of Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum (T. pallidum) would facilitate study of prevalent strains.
