Gonochek-II test is intended for the use in the detection of hydroxyprolylaminopeptidase, gamma-glutamylaminopeptidase, and beta-galactosidase from colonies grown on selective media, to aid in the presumptive identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria lactamica and Moraxella catarrhalis. These three enzymes have been shown to be accurate in identifying N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis and N. lactamica, respectivelyThe hydrolysis of a beta-naphthylamino acid derivative by hydroxyprolylaminopeptidase, releases a free beta-naphthylamine derivative which complexes with the diazonium salt (color developer) present on the red cap of the Gonochek-II reagent test tube, to produce a pink-red color which is a presumptive positive result for ___________.
