Combined selective descriptive medium for the culture of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 medium identified 68 cultures of N gonorrhoeae correctly, 64 of them after 24 hours' incubation.

Further studies with a selective medium for cultivating Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A culture medium that is selective for the gonococcus and the meningococcus has been described recently (Thayer and Martin, 1964). The medium with Polymyxin and Ristocetin added permits isolation of the gonococcus from sites highly contaminated with other bacteria. Overgrowth of gonococcal colonies by the commensal bacterial flora present in rectal, vaginal, and cervical specimens is almost com...

متن کاملCulture medium for confirmation of penicillin-resistant and penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A culture method for the isolation and identification of penicillinase (beta-lactamase)-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) was evaluated in the Philippines where PPNG are common. The method uses plastic biplates containing standard Martin-Lewis gonorrhea culture medium in one side of the biplate and PPNG-selective medium containing 1.5 microgram of penicillin G per ml and a suspension of Sa...
متن کاملModified transport and growth medium for the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Transgrow medium was developed by Martin and Lester (1971) as a combined transport and culture medium for N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. It has since become widely used in the United States, where it is considered to be an important aid in the diagnosis of gonorrhoea in patients attending clinics which are remote from a laboratory. Certain of the ingredients of Transgrow are difficult to o...
متن کاملSelective 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, ...
