Abstract

A new transport and holding medium, designated medium #505, has been formulated and tested against standard, commercially available media. The medium is a chemically defined mixture. The ingredients include: sodium chloride, sodium thioglycollate, buffered agar, Amberlite CG-400, methylene blue and IsoVitalex.

The experimental design included two phases. During Phase I, transport media were formulated and tested for their ability to maintain a viable culture of the non-pathogen Neisseria perflava for at least 21 days at ambient temperature (25° C). In Phase II, media that were able to maintain Neisseria perflava for at least 21 days were tested for their ability to maintain a viable culture of the pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae for 7 days.
