Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thayer-Martin agar is the best choice for isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae as it contains antibiotics that specifically inhibit the growth of other bacteria, allowing for the selective growth of N. gonorrhoeae. Phenylethyl alcohol agar, MacConkey agar, and Mannitol salt agar are not suitable for the isolation of N. gonorrhoeae.
