Simple disk-plate method for the biochemical confirmation of pathogenic Neisseria

J A Valu. J Clin Microbiol. 1976 Feb.

Abstract

The carbohydrate fermentation test in cystine trypticase agar (BBL)-tubed medium was compared with a simple method using commercially available carbohydrate impregnated disks on culture inoculated Thayer-Martin medium with and without (vancomycin, colistimethate, and nystatin) inhibitors. There was 100% agreement between the two methods when a limited sample of clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Nesseria meningitidis were tested.
