(Xiooo.) the diagnosis may become very difficult and is frequently im- possible, except by culture-methods, owing to secondary in- fection with the ordinary pus-forming or other bacteria, which may be present in larger numbers than the gonococci themselves. The gonococcus grows only in the incubator, and cannot therefore be cultivated upon gelatin. Its cultivation is, in fact, a matter of some difficulty. The medium usually selected is a mixture of agar with human blood-serum. The blood-.
