title: InTray GC medium versus modified Thayer-Martin agar plates for diagnosis of gonorrhea from endocervical specimens.
abstract: A new self-contained medium system for the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was compared to modified Thayer-Martin medium for the diagnosis of gonorrhea from endocervical specimens. There was no difference in the ability of the two methods to support the growth of N. gonorrhoeae.
