Lab Diagnosis of Gonorrhea and some pic

Second microbiology practical class of semester 6.

SLIDES :

1. Gram -ve diplococci : NEISSERIA culture




2. Gram -ve diplococci : NEISSERIA smear
     stain - Gram stain



3. Gram -ve diplococci : NEISSERIA smear
     stain - Methylene blue



PLATES :

1. Blood agar


2. Chocolate agar


3. Thayer-Martin
    - chocolate agar + VCN (vancomycin, colistin, nystatin)
    - vancomycin for Gram +ve bacteria, colistin for Gram -ve bacteria, nystatin for fungi


4. Oxidase test

-Violet colonies
- IMPORTANT CHARACTER distinguish from meningococcus is ability producing acid from glucose not maltose

APPARATUS :

Candle jar

-we can also use gas pack jar.
PHOTOS :

1. Chlamydia - Giemsa stain


-Obligate intracellular 
-not affected by B-lactam antibiotics(absense of peptidoglycan layer in cell wall)
-sensitive to sulphonamides.

2. Chlamydia - McCoy's cells


Lab diagnosis:
-cytology 
-isolation
-direct antigen detection(IF,ELISA)
-NA probes
-serology

3. Mycoplasma - phleomorphic appearance

    - quantitative




Test tubes :

1. Egg saline
    - enriched media for TB


2. Lowenstein Jensen medium
    - selective media for TB


Apparatus :

1. Dip slide
    - to count the colonies and calculate the number of organisms per ml of       urine
