title: Rapid enzyme system for the identification of pathogenic Neisseria spp.
abstract: Gonochek II is a combination of three enzyme substrates in one tube which will give a rapid identification (30 min) of those pathogenic Neisseria spp. which can be isolated on Thayer Martin or similar selective media. Eighty isolates were tested by Gonochek II and a carbohydrate utilization method; total agreement was achieved between the two methods.
