Abstract
As the result of finding Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a rectal culture for Campylobacter spp., a study was done to determine if this was an unusual isolate. Five gonococcal isolates grew equally well on modified Thayer-Martin medium in a microaerobic chamber whether incubated at 35 or 40 degrees C. All five grew as well as controls microaerobically on campylobacter medium containing lysed horse blood at 35 degrees C; three of the five grew on this medium at 40 degrees C.
