Chacko-Nair egg-enriched selective medium in the diagnosis of pathogenic Neisseriae.

چکیده
An egg-enriched medium made selective by the addition of Polymyxin B and Mycostatin, for the isolation of N. gonorrhoeae was described by Chacko and Nair (1966). The evaluation of this medium has since been extended to further cases ofN.gonorrhoeae and also to N. meningitidis. The results indicate the usefulness of the Chacko-Nair medium, not only in the diagnosis of gonorrhoea, but also in the isolation of N. meningitidis in culture.

Serum tests for gonorrhoea, particularly the complement-fixation procedure using whole gonococcal cells as the antigen, have long been recognized to be of very limited value in diagnosis. For more efficient diagnosis and control of gonorrhoea there is clearly a need for a simple serological method which can be used as a screening test aimed particularly at the detection of the female carrier in...

متن کاملPlasmid diversity in neisseriae.
Horizontal gene transfer constitutes an important force in prokaryotic genome evolution, and it is well-known that plasmids are vehicles for DNA transfer. Chromosomal DNA is frequently exchanged between pathogenic and commensal neisseriae, but relatively little is known about plasmid diversity and prevalence among these nasopharyngeal inhabitants. We investigated the plasmid contents of 18 Neis...
