The effects of C. trachomatis infection on human fallopian tubal morphology. Human fallopian tubes in organ culture were left uninfected (a and b) or were infected with C. trachomatis serovar D (c and d). Ultrastructural analysis of the intratubal architecture uses scanning electron microscopy. Uninfected tubes are densely ciliated and contain intact secretory cells. The mucosal surface of C. trachomatis-infected tubes show remarkable deciliation and cellular disruption ([9], and reproduced with permission).
