Imferon agar: improved medium for isolation of pathogenic Neisseria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imferon, an iron-dextran complex, enhances the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. The use of Imferon as a replacement for ferric nitrate, in a defined supplement for GC agar significantly increased the average colony sizes of both gonococci and meningococci. In comparison with Thayer-Martin medium, Imferon agar increased the speed and rate of isolation of gonococci from clinical specimens.

Neisseria species are gram negative diplococci an important characteristic of these bacteria is resistance against crystal violet. This study was done to investigate the effect of crystal violet on the growth of Neisseria, to observe the outcome of adding this substance in culture media for isolating these organisms, and finally to make a specific medium for isolation of the Nisseria species. ...
متن کاملCarbohydrate fermentation plate medium for confirmation of Neisseria species.
A carbohydrate fermentation plate medium is described for rapid and reliable confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, and other Neisseria species. The medium is based on a modification of NYC (U.S. Patent 3,846,241) medium, originally designed for the isolation of pathogenic Neisseria (3). A total of 715 clinical isolates were tested for their carbohydrate fermentation reactions ...
متن کاملSimple disk-plate method for the biochemical confirmation of pathogenic Neisseria.
The carbohydrate fermentation test in cystine trypticase agar (BBL)-tubed medium was compared with a simple method using commercially available carbohydrate impregnated disks on culture inoculated Thayer-Martin medium with and without (vancomycin, colistimethate, and nystatin) inhibitors. There was 100% agreement between the two methods when a limited sample of clinical isolates of Neisseria go...
متن کاملCharacterisation of Branhamella catarrhalis and differentiation from Neisseria species in a diagnostic laboratory.
To distinguish Branhamella catarrhalis from Neisseria species a study of 140 strains was made on simple laboratory media, with particular reference to deoxyribonuclease (DNase) production, superoxol reaction, and growth characteristics. All 97 clinical isolates of B catarrhalis (58 of which were beta-lactamase positive) and eight strains of B catarrhalis from the National Collection of Type Cul...
متن کاملIdentification of Neisseria gonorrhoea and Neisseria meningitidis by a carbohydrate disc technique.
Serum agar sugars are variable in performance when used to identify the pathogenic Neisseria. In these circumstances, it has been common practice to rely on the Gram strain and oxidase reaction to confirm the clinical diagnosis. However, with reports of isolations of Neisseria gonorrhoea from nonurogenital sites and isolations of Neisseria meningitidis from cases of neonatal ophthalmia (Barr an...
