Abstract
A broth medium that supports growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to high densities with minimal lysis is described. With most gonococcal strains, inocula of 2 x 10(6) colony-forming units per ml yielded greater than 109 colony-forming units per ml after 8 h of incubation. Scale-up cultures produced 5 to 12 g (wet weight) of cells per liter.
