Gonococcal infections can no longer be considered exclusively urogenital but it is difficult in a busy routine laboratory to identify gonococci from non-genital sites, especially if other commensal neisseria are present. Unfortunately, conventional serum agar sugars sometimes give equivocal results. A fermentation medium is described for the identification of gonoccoci. On preliminary testing this medium gives rapid and reliable results and should prove to be much more helpful to the routine laboratory than conventional serum agar sugars. Its potential usefulness, as demonstrated by the results of our first 200 examinations, would seem to justify further study in the routine work of other laboratories.
淋球菌感染不能再仅仅被视为泌尿生殖系统感染,但在繁忙的日常实验室中,很难从非生殖器部位鉴定出淋球菌,尤其是当存在其他共生奈瑟菌时。不幸的是,传统的血清琼脂糖有时会给出模棱两可的结果。本文描述了一种用于鉴定淋球菌的发酵培养基。在初步测试中,这种培养基能给出快速可靠的结果,并且对于日常实验室来说,应该比传统的血清琼脂糖更有帮助。从我们最初200次检测的结果来看,它的潜在用途似乎证明有必要在其他实验室的日常工作中进行进一步研究。
