Two simplified media for isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae are described. They differ from the modified Thayer-Martin medium in the enrichment and antibiotics used for preparation. The enrichment for one, enrichment 4 medium, contains only four ingredients, and amphotericin B is used instead of nystatin. This medium is comparable to the modified Thayer-Martin medium for isolating N.gonorrhoeae. It is convenient to prepare and is only one-third the cost of Thayer Martin medium. It is a suitable alternative to the modified Thayer-Martin. The enrichment 5 medium is a hemoglobin-free version of enrichment 4 medium. It is somewhat more selective for contaminants but is also more inhibitory for N. gonorrhoeae.
本文描述了两种用于分离淋病奈瑟菌的简化培养基。它们在制备所用的增菌成分和抗生素方面与改良的Thayer-Martin培养基有所不同。其中一种增菌培养基，即增菌4培养基，仅含有四种成分，并且使用两性霉素B替代了制霉菌素。这种培养基在分离淋病奈瑟菌方面与改良的Thayer-Martin培养基相当。它制备方便，成本仅为Thayer-Martin培养基的三分之一。它是改良的Thayer-Martin培养基的合适替代品。增菌5培养基是增菌4培养基的无血红蛋白版本。它对污染物的选择性更强，但对淋病奈瑟菌的抑制作用也更强。
