Human urine stimulates growth of Leishmania in vitro

1 Jul 1991

Abstract excerpt

Enhancement of trypanosomatid metacyclogenesis by insect urine components led us to test the effect of human urine as a culture additive. The addition of 1-5% urine to Schneider's Drosophila medium containing 10% foetal calf serum enhanced the growth of 11 Leishmania strains representing 8 different taxonomic groups. Cell division was stimulated in cultures with non-dividing organisms. Peak cell density was...
