ERIC^® Patch NH0108

Issue Date: 01/28/2008

Versions: ERIC^® ERIC 1.0.75 or ERIC 1.0.76

Condition: Production of proline aminopeptidase (PRO) has been shown to be a prominent characteristic of Neisseria species and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and are generally positive for PRO in the RapID NH System. Recently, PRO-negative N. gonorrhoeae (do not produce detectable amounts of PRO) have been reported in the United States. Most commercial systems, for the rapid identification N. gonorrhoeae, rely upon the production of PRO as a distinguishing characteristic.

Clinically significant numbers of PRO-negative strains of N. gonorrhoeae have been added to the RapID NH database resulting in increased ability for the identification of PRO -negative N. gonorrhoeae.

PRO-Negative N. gonorrhoeae will result in an probability overlap condition with Kingella kingae and will carry significant probability as the first choice. To resolve the overlap condition, N. gonorrhoeae can be easily distinguished from K. kingae by catalase/superoxol or growth on selective media.

Solution: A software patch ERIC PATCH NH0108 has been issued to update the RapID NH database. The patch will modify percentages for N. gonorrhoeae in the system to better support identification of PRO-negative strains of N. gonorrhoeae.
