ABSTRACT:
A nutrient growth medium which is highly selective for pathogenic Neisseria is provided. The nutrient growth medium includes an antibiotic agent which is a combination of vancomycin and lincomycin. The combination of lincomycin and vancomycin allows the use of lower concentrations of vancomycin than are generally employed in culture media used for the selective isolation of pathogenic Neisseria species.
