Abstract

ABSTRACT Eno powder (GlaxoSmithKline), an antacid preparation readily available over the counter, was used instead of a CO 2 generator for the growth of 15 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae obtained from men with urethritis. Due to its easy accessibility and low cost, Eno powder can be useful in developing countries for transporting clinical specimens from resource-poor peripheral labs to reference laboratories.
