Rapid enzyme system for the identification of pathogenic Neisseria spp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gonochek II is a combination of three enzyme substrates in one tube which will give a rapid identification (30 min) of those pathogenic Neisseria spp. which can be isolated on Thayer Martin or similar selective media. Eighty isolates were tested by Gonochek II and a carbohydrate utilization method; total agreement was achieved between the two methods.

Evaluation of the RIM-N, Gonochek II, and Phadebact systems for the identification of pathogenic Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis.
Methods for identifying Neisseria spp. include conventional and modified carbohydrate degradation procedures, chromogenic enzyme substrate tests, and immunologic coagglutination tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In this study, we evaluated the abilities of the RIM-N carbohydrate degradation system (American MicroScan, Campbell, Calif.), the Gonochek II enzymatic identification system (Du Pont Co...

Alpha toxin derived from Clostridium perfringens was used for diagnosis of Streptococcus agalactiae (St.agalactiae) by rapid and spot CAMP tests. The selected Cl.perfringens strain was cultured in optimized conditions; the supernatant of culture was concentrated by ultra filter and purified by DEAE cellulose chromatography. The efficacy of both purified and crude α-toxins were examined by rapid...

Background and aim: Dermatophytosis (tinea, ringworm) is the infection of skin, hair or nail that is caused by various keratinophilic fungi (dermatophytes). Dermatophytosis is a common infection throughout the world including all parts of Iran. As conventional laboratory procedures for identification of different dermatophytes are slow or lack specificity, more rapid and reliable methods are st...
