Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae was identified by the Phadebact® gonococcus test, a rapid slide coagglutination technique, and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by conventional methods (Gram stain morphology, oxidase reaction, and carbohydrate utilization tests) for the confirmatory identification of gonococci. Of 308 clinical isolates examined, the coagglutination procedure correctly identified 97.8% of the isolates tested as N. gonorrhoeae and 93.9% of other bacteria as not N. gonorrhoeae. The coagglutination procedure also identified 29 laboratory strains correctly as not N. gonorrhoeae. The slide coagglutination test is easy to perform and offers a valuable alternative to other techniques for the confirmatory identification of N. gonorrhoeae.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
