[Growth medium for Neisseria meningitidis isolation].
Growth medium for isolation of N. meningitidis, which do not require addition of serum and based on previously developed medium for cultivation of bacteria from Haemophilus genus (without growth factors V and X) was constructed. Selective properties of the medium in relation to meningococci were determined by addition of vancomycin and colistin--antibacterial supplement inhibiting growth of nonpathogenic Neisseria and outside microflora. Developed medium was successfully approved during examination of children for nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococci.
