The survival in transport media of 30 strains of gonococci was determined. These strains comprised five distinguishable strains of each of six auxotypes. Survival of different auxotypes varied significantly, but this variability was reduced by charcoal. Delayed swab processing could yield isolates unrepresentative of those causing infection in a sampled patient population.
测定了30株淋球菌在转运培养基中的存活情况。这些菌株包括六种营养缺陷型中每种的五个可区分菌株。不同营养缺陷型的存活情况差异显著,但加入木炭后这种变异性降低。延迟棉签处理可能会产生不能代表在抽样患者群体中引起感染的菌株的分离株。
