This panel contains a representative number of Neisseria species including N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, and other Neisseria species, like Kingella denitrificans, and Moraxella catarrhalis. This will allow laboratories to have access to a rare collection of commensal Neisseria species for identification verification purposes.
This panel can be supplemented with additional Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, link below.
This panel has been reduced to 11 isolates as of 7/11/2023

Panel ID: NID
Important information about this panel:
Isolates AR-0933 - 0940, 0942, 0949 - 0952, 0954 - 0957, 0959, and 0962 have been dropped from the collection.
This panel contains propagated Neisseria meningitidis isolates. This bacteria can invade the body causing serious illness such as meningitis or septicemia. Special cautions are required when handle N. menigitidis in the lab.
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).
