A comparative study of modified New York City carbohydrate medium, Minitek (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) and cystine-trypticase agar was conducted for determination of the relative accuracies of these media in the identification of pathogenic Neisseria. Of 170 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, 169 were correctly identified by New York City carbohydrate media, 131 by Minitek, and 117 by cystine-trypticase agar. Of the 72 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis tested, all were accurately speciated by New York City carbohydrate media, whereas Minitek and cystine-trypticase agar identified 61 and 49 strains, respectively. The greater reliability of New York City carbohydrate media is accompanied by advantages not offered by the other media.
对改良纽约市碳水化合物培养基、米尼泰克(BBL微生物系统公司,马里兰州科基斯维尔)和胱氨酸胰蛋白酶琼脂进行了一项比较研究,以确定这些培养基在鉴定致病性奈瑟菌方面的相对准确性。在170株淋病奈瑟菌分离株中,169株通过纽约市碳水化合物培养基得到正确鉴定,131株通过米尼泰克鉴定,117株通过胱氨酸胰蛋白酶琼脂鉴定。在测试的72株脑膜炎奈瑟菌分离株中,所有菌株均通过纽约市碳水化合物培养基准确鉴定,而米尼泰克和胱氨酸胰蛋白酶琼脂分别鉴定出61株和49株。纽约市碳水化合物培养基更高的可靠性伴随着其他培养基所没有的优势。
