16 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were subjected to several established techniques for capsule demonstration by light microscopy. In all strains examined, encapsulation of the gonococcus was demonstrated. Although the capsules were somewhat more easily seen in strains recently isolated from clinical material, organisms that had been passaged for several years also were encapsulated as were all the colony types within these strains. The gonococcal capsule is easily disrupted by mechanical forces.
对16株淋病奈瑟菌采用几种既定的光学显微镜下荚膜显示技术进行检测。在所有检测的菌株中，均证实了淋球菌有荚膜形成。尽管从临床标本中近期分离出的菌株中的荚膜更容易观察到，但传代数年的菌株以及这些菌株内的所有菌落类型也都有荚膜。淋球菌荚膜很容易被机械力破坏。
