Panel:   Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC)
AR Bank # 0202 Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Study ID: GC-38

Biosample Accession #: SAMEA3165659

   
Source: Urethra

β-Lactamase: Negative*
Assembly Accession Number: SAWL00000000

MIC results provided were determined by agar dilution.

MIC results for each antimicrobial agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 1 log2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the FDA & CDC AR Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (see J. H. Jorgensen. 1993. J Clin Microbiol. Vol 31[11]: 2841-2844).

Propagation
MEDIUM
Medium: GC agar base and 1% defined growth supplement and/or 1% hemoglobin

GROWTH CONDITIONS
Temperature: 36°C
Atmosphere: 5% CO₂

PROPAGATION PROCEDURE

Remove the sample vial to a container with dry ice or a freezer block. Keep vial on ice or block. (Do not let vial content thaw)

Open vial aseptically to avoid contamination

Using a sterile loop, remove a small amount of frozen isolate from the top of the vial

Aseptically transfer the loop to GC agar

Use streak plate method to isolate single colonies

Incubate inverted plate at 36°C ± 1°C in 5% CO₂ for 20-24 hrs.
