Popis: A modification of the acidometric (phenol red) test for penicillinase producing N. gonorrhoeae was incorporated into the rapid fermentation method for rapid screening and identification of PPNG strains. Two hundred and twenty-four non-penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae, 55 penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae, 87 N. meningitidis and 89 N. lactamica were included in this study. Results of the modified test were comparable with the iodometric and penicillin disk diffusion susceptibility and were obtainable within 1 to 5 minutes.
