Comparative evaluation of New York City and modified Thayer-Martin media for isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

چکیده
Commercially manufactured New York City (NYC) medium and modified Thayer-Martin (MTM) medium were compared for their ability to isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens. Twenty-seven public health laboratories throughout California evaluated 4,802 specimens collected from patients attending either sexually transmitted disease or family planning clinics. Total of 726 and 737 N. gonorrhoeae isolates were recovered from NYC and MTM medium, respectively. Although less contamination was noted on NYC medium, MTM medium was equivalent to commercially prepared NYC medium for the isolation of N. gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens.

Simplified 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...

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 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...

New York City medium and New York City medium without hemoglobin were comparatively evaluated for their ability to support the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from 1,010 clinical specimens. Although hemoglobin in the form of lysed horse erythrocytes stimulated gonococcal growth, the absence of this component from New York City medium did not have a detrimental effect on the recovery of...
