Rapid Enzymatic Identification of Pathogenic Neisseria spp. and Moraxella catarrhalis
The Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ BactiCard™ Neisseria is a rapid enzymatic test designed for the presumptive identification of clinically significant Neisseria species and Moraxella catarrhalis isolated on selective media. Utilizing enzyme substrate technology, this test provides results within minutes, aiding in the timely differentiation of pathogenic isolates in clinical microbiology laboratories.
Each card is pre-loaded with substrates to detect four key enzymatic activities commonly associated with Neisseria and M. catarrhalis:
- Beta-galactosidase
- Indoxyl butyrate esterase
- Gamma-glutamyl aminopeptidase
- Prolylaminopeptidase
Key Features & Benefits
-
Rapid Results
- Enzyme-based detection allows for identification in minutes, accelerating diagnostic workflows.
-
Easy to Use
- Simple, card-based format—no extensive preparation or instrumentation required.
-
Targeted Detection
- Optimized for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
-
Reliable Performance
- Uses four well-characterized enzymatic markers for robust and accurate results.
-
Cost-Effective
- Ideal for low- to mid-volume laboratories needing fast, high-specificity identification.
-
CE-Marked
- Conforms to European IVD directives for clinical diagnostic use.
Intended Use
The BactiCard™ Neisseria is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for use by qualified professionals in clinical laboratories. It is used for the presumptive identification of pathogenic Neisseria spp. and M. catarrhalis from colonies grown on selective agar media such as Modified Thayer-Martin or chocolate agar.
Not for direct specimen testing. Not intended for use in companion diagnostics or automation platforms.

Clinical Relevance
Neisseria species are responsible for several serious infections including:
- N. gonorrhoeae → Gonorrhea
- N. meningitidis → Meningitis, septicemia
- M. catarrhalis → Otitis media, bronchitis, sinusitis
Rapid identification of these organisms aids in early therapeutic intervention and infection control.
