We evaluated the superoxol (catalase) test as a means of differentiating gonococci from related species of organisms which were cultured from a variety of anatomical sites. An isolate was almost certainly not a gonococcus if it gave a negative superoxol test result, as all but one of 596 available gonococci gave positive test results. However, a proportion of the non-gonococcal neisseriae and isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis, also gave positive test results. The superoxol test is thus a useful addition to the techniques available for the characterisation of gonococci, but additional procedures are needed to confirm the identities of isolates giving positive results.
我们评估了过氧乙醇(过氧化氢酶)试验,以此作为区分淋球菌与从各种解剖部位培养出的相关菌种的一种方法。如果分离株的过氧乙醇试验结果为阴性,几乎可以肯定它不是淋球菌,因为596株可用的淋球菌中除1株外其余均呈阳性试验结果。然而,一部分非淋球菌奈瑟菌和卡他布兰汉菌分离株也呈阳性试验结果。因此,过氧乙醇试验是用于淋球菌鉴定的现有技术的一项有益补充,但需要额外的程序来确认呈阳性结果的分离株的身份。
