چکیده
A new self-contained medium system for the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was compared to modified Thayer-Martin medium for the diagnosis of gonorrhea from endocervical specimens. There was no difference in the ability of the two methods to support the growth of N. gonorrhoeae.

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 direct inoculation and Copan transport systems for isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from endocervical specimens.
Two commercial swab transport systems, Copan Amies gel agar with and without charcoal (Copan Diagnostics, Corona, Calif.), were compared to direct inoculation onto modified Thayer-Martin medium for detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in 1,490 endocervical specimens obtained from women attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic. Copan swabs were held in the transport system for 24 h at room ...
متن کاملNew selective medium for the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
GC-Lect, a new selective medium for the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae which contains five antimicrobial agents, was evaluated with stock cultures and with 500 clinical specimens. With stock cultures, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis that grew on modified Thayer-Martin medium (MTM) was inhibited on the new medium. Also, vancomycin-susceptible strains of N. gonorrhoeae were mu...
متن کاملNew system for cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A modified Thayer-Martin medium, containing 2.0% agar, 0.25% dextrose, and 5.0 mug of trimethoprim per ml was compared to Thayer-Martin medium for growth of stock cultures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and for isolation of N. gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens. Stock cultures and male urethral cultures grew equally well on both media, but the modified Thayer-Martin medium detected 10% more female p...
متن کاملFurther 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...
