Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thayer-Martin plate is a type of selective media specifically designed to isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, from clinical specimens such as vaginal or penile excretions. It contains antibiotics that suppress the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi, allowing the selective growth of Neisseria species.
