Modified liquid Amies transport medium is a nonnutritive phosphate-buffered medium capable of maintaining the viability of aerobic, anaerobic, and fastidious bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeaeduring transport to the laboratory. �!4�؇�N��&=��u��ͩ`��!\@R87�$$��}K/ys~NFx��, �b�tW�p�i�d�އz$�!��;�x�,l�gwm�7��6J5�|s��j�y�[��ׇ��/%�\��w��?c��S�t��nt}��N��%G%JF��|D4P��Z��-S��k��l�b�3�:Z(x��:��d��8�6�M�}s�u�ܗ"�8�ĿY��v�U��C|"�)�SEh�}��a}��Me�~.�O�x7�AW��[Gu�R�ǐ��QU�K�QA}��T.ͭ�}I>�|��Ք�� b��J�uct Y�K�a�WU�&�-iJ ��$? :Kd�V�l. 4 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 6 /H [ 1074 203 ] /L 15899 /E 15531 /N 1 /T 15702 >> endobj xref 4 33 0000000016 00000 n 0000001004 00000 n 0000001277 00000 n 0000001481 00000 n 0000001542 00000 n 0000001636 00000 n 0000001751 00000 n 0000001772 00000 n 0000003008 00000 n 0000003200 00000 n 0000003393 00000 n 0000004628 00000 n 0000005860 00000 n 0000006052 00000 n 0000006243 00000 n 0000007477 00000 n 0000008538 00000 n 0000008559 00000 n 0000008643 00000 n 0000009632 00000 n 0000009653 00000 n 0000010648 00000 n 0000010669 00000 n 0000011679 00000 n 0000011700 00000 n 0000012693 00000 n 0000012714 00000 n 0000013687 00000 n 0000013708 00000 n 0000014635 00000 n 0000014656 00000 n 0000001074 00000 n 0000001257 00000 n trailer << /Size 37 /Info 3 0 R /Root 5 0 R /Prev 15693 /ID[<72d30ed39df09dfb7f66d6c924c76e8a><72d30ed39df09dfb7f66d6c924c76e8a>] >> startxref 0 %%EOF 5 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 2 0 R /Outlines 1 0 R >> endobj 35 0 obj << /S 36 /O 104 /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 36 0 R >> stream Microbiologists are still encumbered by the variable performance of Amies charcoal transport medium in recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.The objective of this study was to evaluate and select a good quality commercial system to replace our in-house preparation. Urogenital swab: Amies medium is the most efficient medium for transporting urethral, cervical, and vaginal swabs. ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the survival of N. gonorrhoeaein clinical genital specimens using Amies transport media without charcoal (Starplex Scientific, ON) following storage at … Amies Transport Medium provides a reduced environment due to the presence of sodium thioglycollate and the small amount of agar. Charcoal helps to neutralize materials that are toxic to sensitive pathogens like Neisseria gonorrhoeae. H��U�r�F~ޡO)HIxf`&7Y�oVޔE�{��q�Q��_q�j)UIC��~�� ҟ~shZ�H2��~q_DA��L c��c&9�=��\H`A��C(�

The liquid Amies transporting medium, is used as a supportive medium that can sustain the viability of a plurality of organisms that include clinically important aerobes, anaerobes and fastidious bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae during transit to the testing laboratory. Amies medium is also used in suspected Bordetella pertussis and Corynebacterium diphtheriae cases.
