Q

Difference between Neisseria gonorrhea and Neisseria meningitidis

A
  • Neisseria gonorrhea which causes gonorrhea in man ferment glucose only (not ferment maltose ) with production of acid.
21
Q

Definitive identification in diagnosis of a case of acute cerebspinal meningitis

A

22
Q

Rapid diagnosis in diagnosis of a case of acute cerebspinal meningitis

23
Q

Diagnosis of carrier of N.meningitidis, and what should The obtained growth be differentiated from?

A
  • Nasopharyngeal swab is examined as in diagnosis of case.
  • The obtained growth should be differentiated from commensal neisseria.
