[Bartholinitis due to Neisseria meningitidis: Clinical case].

Bartholinitis is the inflammation and infection of the Bartholin's glands that results from the accumulation of mucus in their ducts, the most frequent causal microorganisms being anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and those responsible for sexually transmitted infections. Those caused by agents not belonging to the genital microbiota are less frequent. Likewise, in most cases the diagnosis is clinical.

[Development of a simple medium for the selective isolation of bacteria belonging to the Streptococcus anginosus group].

Bacteria of the Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) have recently been recognized as contributors of bronchopulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). Routine detection and quantification are limited by current CF microbiology protocols. The development of the CHROMagar™ StrepB chromogenic medium modified by the addition of plasma, nalidixic acid, colistin and sulfadiazine to make it selective for SAG bacteria is described.
