Abstract
Manganous chloride and Congo red incorporated into blotting paper discs were used to differentiate gonococci from meningococci. The new technique is simple and reliable; the materials for the test are inexpensive. The method will increase the efficiency of distinguishing between the pathogenic Neisseria in any clinical bacteriology laboratory and especially in those in the tropical areas.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
