Description

This medium is used to isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis.

Isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis with Thermo Scientific™ Remel JEMBEC System w/Thayer Martin Agar Modified (w/nystatin, colistin, vancomycin, trimethoprim). 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 containing antibiotics to isolate N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis 2. Various studies have demonstrated improved recovery for pathogenic Neisseria spp. using selective media3-6.

Initially the antibiotics ristocetin and polymyxin B were used and replaced with vancomycin, colistimethate, and nystatin7. The medium contains dextrose that enhances growth of gonococci.

    • Colistin inhibits most gram-negative bacilli

    • Trimethoprim lactate suppresses swarming of Proteus spp.

Thayer and Martin Agar (Improved) contains hemoglobin, which provides the X factor (hemin), and GCHI Enrichment that provides the V factor, vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes, and dextrose. The tablet provided in the JEMBEC™ and Pill Pocket systems comes in contact with the water vapor present in the medium and liberates carbon dioxide into the enclosed pack.
