Isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis with InMicro® Prepared: Thayer Martin Agar Improved. Johnston introduced a medium to grow N. gonorrhoeae in 24 hours1 and this was the advent of GC Agar Base. Thayer and Martin formulated a selective medium to isolate N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis that contained antibiotics capable of supressing the commensal microbial flora present in the anal canal, vagina, pharynx and other sites2. Martin and Lewis recommended the use of anisomycin to replace nystatin and increase the shelf life of the media3.
Various studies have demonstrated improved recovery for pathogenic Neisseria spp. using selective media4-6. Thayer-Martin agar Improved is a selective medium used for the isolation of Neisseria gonorrheae and N. meningitidis from specimens containing a mixed flora of bacteria and/or fungi. Thayer Martin Agar Improved contains hemoglobin, which provides the X factor (hemin), and GCHI Enrichment, which provides the V factor, vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes, and dextrose. Initially the antibiotics ristocetin and polymyxin B were used and replaced with vancomycin, colistimethate, and nystatin7.
