Neisseria

Abstract: Neis.se' ri.a . M.L. fem. n. Neisseria named after Albert Neisser, who discovered the etiological agent of gonorrhea in the pus of patients in 1889. Proteobacteria / Betaproteobacteria / Neisseriales / Neisseriaceae / Neisseria Cocci 0.6–1.9 µm in diameter, occurring singly but often in pairs with adjacent sides flattened; two species ( Neisseria elongata and N . weaveri … Show more

“…The opportunistic pathogens Actinomyces [35]and Escherichia/Shigella (or closely related Brenneria/Pseudescherichia) were also more abundant in microbiota of patients from the main group. Proportion of Neisseria mucosa, an inhabitant of intestinal mucus layer [36], and Parvimonas micra, which is specifically able to degrade mucin [37,38], was lower for the participants of the main group. Relative abundance of Megasphaera micronuciformis was also decreased in patients with higher disease severity [39,40].…”

“…It is also notable that Neisseria species tend to be associated with mammals and birds, such as N. canis with dog, N. animaloris with racoon dog, N. zalophi with sea lion, N. arctica with goose, etc. (see Figure 4 ), as inhabitants of the mucous membranes of animals ( Tønjum, 2015 ). These observations suggest the possibility that, although speculative, the blood-sucking lice may acquire the Neisseria -allied bacteria from their host animals either casually or as commensal associates, and some of them have established an obligatory association as observed in H. acanthopus ( Říhová et al, 2021 ).…”
