Institut Pasteur, Bangui, Central African Republic.

A substrate, pyridine-2-azo-p-dimethylaniline cephalosporin (PADAC; Diagnostic Pasteur, Marnes-La-Coquette, France), for detection of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) on isolated colonies grown on agar was compared with the nitrocefin reference test (Cefinase; Biomerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France). The PADAC test was also used to detect PPNG directly on urethral exudates. All 38 PPNG-containing and 29 of 30 PPNG-negative urethral pus isolates gave results in agreement with those obtained on cultured isolates. We conclude that direct detection of PPNG in urethral exudates from males is simple, rapid, reliable, and sensitive.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D005122 Exudates and Transudates Exudates are fluids, CELLS, or other cellular substances that are slowly discharged from BLOOD VESSELS usually from inflamed tissues. Transudates are fluids that pass through a membrane or squeeze through tissue or into the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE of TISSUES. Transudates are thin and watery and contain few cells or PROTEINS.
