Identification of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae by Co-agglutination Test

Identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from primary cultures by a slide agglutination test.

Hen antigonococcal lipopolysaccharide hen serum was used in a simple slide agglutination test for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from primary isolates.

Lectins agglutination test as an epidemiological marker for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Evaluation of the Phadebact Test for identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The Phadebact Gonococcus Test (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, N.J.) is used for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In this test, boiled organisms are examined by using a 3-min coagglutination technique. A total of 313 isolates of Neisseria confirmed by the fluorescent-antibody technique or identified to the species level by the cysteine-tryptose agar utilization technique, were te...

Superoxol(catalase)test for identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The Superoxol (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J.) test (catalase test using 30% H2O2) was used to differentiate Neisseria gonorrhoeae from other Neisseria species. A positive test was defined as immediate, brisk bubbling upon dropping 30% H2O2 onto a bacterial colony. One hundred percent of the gonococci were Superoxol positive. Only 1% of Superoxol-positive isolates on Thayer-Martin agar were or...

Rapid carbohydrate utilization test for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

A rapid carbohydrate utilization test for the identification of N. gonorrhoeae was investigated, with reference to its use in a routine diagnostic laboratory. The rapid test was shown to give accurate results in agreement with those of a conventional serum-free sugar medium. Because of the shorter time taken for the confirmation of an isolate, and several other advantages, it is proposed that t...
