New York City Agar Composition, Preparation, Result, Uses

NYC Agar Base medium was initially created by Fauer, Weisburd and Wilson at the New York City Department of Health to isolate the pathogenic Neisseria strains from human samples. NYC medium, designed primarily to isolate pathogenic Neisseria is also able to support the growth of mycoplasmas with large colonies or mycoplasmas T (Ureaplasma). It is a translucent medium, highly selective, allowing direct microscopic observations and presumed identification of mycoplasmas and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
