InTray GC medium versus modified Thayer-Martin agar plates for diagnosis of gonorrhea from endocervical specimens.
A new self-contained medium system for the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was compared to modified Thayer-Martin medium for the diagnosis of gonorrhea from endocervical specimens. There was no difference in the ability of the two methods to support the growth of N. gonorrhoeae.
متن کاملSimplified media for isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Two simplified media for isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae are described. They differ from the modified Thayer-Martin medium in the enrichment and antibiotics used for preparation. The enrichment for one, enrichment 4 medium, contains only four ingredients, and amphotericin B is used instead of nystatin. This medium is comparable to the modified Thayer-Martin medium for isolating N.gonorrhoeae. I...
متن کاملComparison of hemoglobin-free culture media and thayer-martin medium for the primary isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Translucent culture media are essential for the determination of gonococcal colony types. In this study two hemoglobin-free, translucent culture media were compared with Thayer-Martin (TM) medium for the primary isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from male urethral specimens. The antibiotic-free translucent medium (GCB) and the translucent medium containing vancomycin, colistin, and nystatin (V...
متن کاملPhysico-chemical and microbiological comparison of nystatin, amphotericin A and amphotericin B, and structure of amphotericin A.
Two polyene antibiotics, nystatin and amphotericin A, were compared by physico-chemical and microbiological methods. The two antibiotics were found to have the same molecular weight, 926, by plasma desorption and electron-impact MS. However, 13C NMR spectrometry and HPLC studies indicated that the two molecules are different. The 200 MHz NMR studies indicated a chemical environment of 24 carbon...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of nystatin compared with those of liposomal nystatin, amphotericin B, and fluconazole against clinical Candida isolates.
We investigated the in vitro activity of nystatin and liposomal nystatin against 103 Candida isolates to determine the effect of both time and medium on MICs. We also compared the nystatin MICs with those of amphotericin B and fluconazole. Testing was performed in accordance with the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards M27-A microdilution methodology with RPMI 1640, RPMI 1640 s...
