Abstract

We determined the rates of survival of six clinical and two control strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in six commercial transport systems, using NCCLS standard M40-A methodology. Differences in strain recovery and system performance were marked. A strain less robust than the recommended ATCC 43069 would provide a more exacting standard.
