Evaluation of two transport systems for gonorrhea cultures

H Dowda et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1979 Mar.

Abstract

The ability of the Transgrow and JEMBEC systems to yield positive cultures when transported to a central laboratory was compared. There were no significant differences in the recovery rates of the two systems. Statistically significant decreases in recovery rate were noted when each system was compared with the traditional plate-candle jar technique.
