Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Identification in Direct Smears by a Fluorescent Antibody-counterstain Method.
Direct smears from female patients have been considered unreliable for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by fluorescent-antibody (FA) methods because of inadequate background contrast of the fluorescent-stained smears and a scarcity of organisms on the smear. Evans blue dye employed as a counterstain eliminated the nonspecific background staining and increased the reliability of the direct...
متن کاملIdentification of problem Neisseria gonorrhoeae cultures by standard and experimental tests.
Standard and experimental tests were used by a reference diagnostic laboratory to determine the identity of 182 "suspected" Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates submitted by state health departments because of inconclusive laboratory results. More than 97% of these cultures were subsequently identified by a rapid microcarbohydrate test in conjunction with confirmatory immunological procedures. The ex...
متن کاملA rapid slid coagglutination test-an alternative to the fluorescent antibody test for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The Phadebact(R) Gonococcus Test, a slide coagglutination test, was compared with the Difco fluorescent antibody test for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from 18- to 24-hour primary plates. A total of 316 morphologically characteristic, oxidase-positive, Gram-negative diplococci were tested. Altogether 298 isolates were identified definitively as N. gonorrhoeae by a rapid c...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Phadebact Test for identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The Phadebact Gonococcus Test (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, N.J.) is used for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In this test, boiled organisms are examined by using a 3-min coagglutination technique. A total of 313 isolates of Neisseria confirmed by the fluorescent-antibody technique or identified to the species level by the cysteine-tryptose agar utilization technique, were te...
متن کاملFluorescent antibody test for the serological diagnosis of gonorrhea.
An indirect fluorescent antibody technique has been developed for the serological diagnosis of gonorrhea. The selected strain(s) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae possesses a heat-labile surface antigen (L-antigen). Sera are diluted 1:10, and an aliquot is hear inactivated at 59 C for 30 min. The treated and untreated aliquots are then examined for human immunoglobulin G anti-L-antigen. In a prelimiary ...
