A physician submits a vaginal swab from a 4-year-old female who has been physically abused. The physician requests a culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. After 48 hours, a gray colony is observed on the Thayer-Martin agar. Further testing provides the following results:
Oxidase: purple      Lactose: red
Glucose: yellow      Sucrose: red
Maltose: red         
                 This organism should be
a.   reported as Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
