Selective culture medium failure in gonorrhoea.
This case report illustrates the need for regular review of culture methods and maintenance of thorough attempts at diagnosis prior to treatment of gonorrhoea. Vancomycin-sensitive gonococcal infection was discovered by repeated tests and by using a non-selective medium (locally). The support of the Gonococcus Reference Unit confirmed the findings. The observations are discussed in laboratory, ...
متن کاملSmear and culture diagnosis in gonorrhoea.
The subject of the diagnosis of gonorrhoea may be considered under three main headings apart from clinical diagnosis. The first is how far smear diagnosis is reliable and what are its limitations; the second is whether culture methods are superior to or at least adjuvant to direct microscopical observations and, if so, what the best methods may be; and the last to what extent reactions based on...
متن کاملSelective culture medium to survey the incidence of Haemophilus species.
A culture medium for the selective isolation of Haemophilus species is described. Bacitracin and nutritional supplements were incorporated in a rich basal agar medium to which rabbit blood was added to distinguish hemolytic species. Colony counts of seven typed strains of H. influenzae on this medium were within practical limits of counts on other media tested for clinical use. The bacitracin m...
متن کاملImproved, low-cost selective culture medium for Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is considered to be one of the major oral putative pathogens, especially in cases of juvenile periodontitis. This microorganism requires nutritionally complex media for growth, and therefore the media for its primary isolation usually include blood agar or serum in their base. In this study we present a new medium, Dentaid-1, which improves the detection of ...
متن کاملCombined selective descriptive medium for the culture of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A selective identification medium for Neisseria gonorrhoeae was devised by incorporating antibiotics and a mixture of sugars into a yeast extract agar. The results were compared with those using a standard combined selective/non-selective blood agar medium. Recovery rates of N gonorrhoeae from specimens from 208 patients cultured on both media were comparable, but the selective descriptive medi...
