“…This microbe is known as a non-pathogenic strain that does not usually cause disease [1][2][3][4]. Some cases caused by N. cinerea have been reported however, including ophthalmia neonatorum [2], nosocomial pneumonia [3], bacterial peritonitis [5], proctitis [6], tricuspid valve endocarditis [7], meningitis [8,10], acute septic arthritis and skin abscess [9].…”

“…N. cinerea rarely causes infective diseases. Nevertheless, a variety of diseases caused by N. cinerea have been reported as follows; ophthalmia neonatorum [2], nosocomial pneumonia [3], recurrent bacterial peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient [5], proctitis [6], endocarditis [7], meningitis and septicemia [8]. However, in Korea, cases of acute septic arthritis and skin abscess [9], and meningitis [10] caused by N. cinerea were reported.…”

“…other than N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae identified as causing meningitis include N. flavescens [143,144], N. lactamica [149,150], N. mucosa [160,161], N. sicca [177,178], and N. subflava [185][186][187]. Moreover, several non-gonococcal, non-meningococcal Neisseria species have been isolated from blood cultures, many of which have been associated with infections including endocarditis (see above, Section 4.1), septicemia and meningitis [124,127,128,137,139,145,146,151,162,169,186,190] ( Table 1).…”

“…It is a commensal of the human oropharynx and sometimes the urogenital tract with low pathogenic potential, although invasive infections are rarely reported. One case of posttraumatic meningitis and bacteremia (12), four episodes of bacteremia, two of these in immunocompromised patients and resulting in death (13)(14)(15), one case of endocarditis in an intravenous drug user (16), three episodes of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)-associated peritonitis in two different patients (17,18), two cases of pulmonary infections in immunosuppressed patients (19,20), one case of proctitis (initially misidentified as N. gonorrhoeae) in a child (21), and several cases of purulent conjunctivitis in neonates (22) have been described so far.…”
