Observations of the Persistence of Gonococci in the Male Urethra.
In gonorrhoea gonococci are sometimes found in the sediment, but more commonly in the "gonorrheal threads," or "floaters.
It is not usual to find gonococci when many other bacteria are present, even though the pus is primarily of gonorrheal origin.
Gonococci are generally easily found in pus from untreated acute and subacute gonorrheal inflammations,--conjunctivitis, urethritis, etc.
But, even so, we cannot be absolutely sure, because gonococci may be hidden in the uterus or in the Fallopian tubes.
Of course, the discharge must be free from gonococci and pus.
Gonococci stain easily and are readily decolorized by Gram's method.
The gonococci cannot be cultivated upon ordinary media, but grow best upon human-blood serum.
There is an infection of the child's eyes by gonococci possible even while the child is in the womb, but this is very exceptional; the infection happens in the vagina during delivery, as a rule.
The gonococcibecome hidden in the folds of the deep parts of the mucous membrane, both in men and women, and cannot all be destroyed.
The gonococci are concealed in all the corners and folds of the internal genital organs of woman, where they set up inflammation of the womb, the Fallopian tubes and even the ovaries, which may lead to adhesions between the abdominal organs.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "gonococci" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
