“…CHILD WITH PROCTITIS ASSOCIATED WITH N. CINEREA reference laboratories. Definitive reports of clinical isolation of N. cinerea are relatively recent (1,3,4), and further clarification of discrepancies between reactions in conventional and commercial sugar methodology must await further studies. However, the problem of glucose degradation may be alleviated in a clinical setting in that the above-mentioned tests recommended to identify problem Neisseria spp.…”

An 8-year-old boy developed proctitis. Rectal swabs yielded a Neisseria sp. that was repeatedly identified by API (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.), Minitek (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.), and Bactec (Johnston Laboratories, Towson, Md.) methods as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Subsequent testing in a reference laboratory yielded an identification of Neisseria cinerea. It is suggested that identification of a Neisseria sp. isolated from genital or rectal sites in a child be confirmed by additional serological, growth, and antibiotic susceptibility tests and, if necessary, by a reference laboratory. The implications of such misidentifications are discussed.

The pathogenic Neisseria spp., N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis, have been studied extensively and rapid identification procedures have been designed to distinguish these species from the commensal Neisseria and related species that are normal flora of the oro- and nasopharynx. The commensal Neisseria spp. have been largely ignored except for isolated studies. It is important that we know about these species, however, because not only may some be misidentified as pathogenic species if identified with inappropriate procedures, but also they may occasionally be isolated from unusual sites and must be correctly identified to the species level for clinical purposes.

“…As noted earlier, strains of K. denitrificans also grow on gonococcal selective media, and if they appear to be diplococcal in shape, they may be misidentified as N. gonorrhoeae because they also produce acid from glucose (47). catarrhalis have been developed based on the studies of D'Amato et al (26). Gram-negative, oxidase-positive diplococcal isolates are inoculated into chromogenic substrates that, based on the color change observed, indicate the production of P-D-galactosidase (o-nitrophenyl-P-D-galactopyranoside test), -y-glutamylaminopeptidase, or hydroxyprolylaminopeptidase by strains of N. lactamica, N. meningitidis, and N. gonorrhoeae, respectively; strains of B. catarrhalis do not produce these enzymes and are presumptively identified if none of the enzymes are produced by the test isolates.…”

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE TAXONOMY OF THE FAMILY NEISSERIACEAE Taxonomy of the Family Neisseriaceae The genus Neisseria belongs to the family Neisseriaceae (95), which has undergone many taxonomic changes (14, 15, 19, 74, 75, 80) that are summarized in Table 1. The genus Neisseria was assigned to the family Coccaceae until 1948 (74), when it was reassigned as the type genus in the family Neisseriaceae (75). The family Neisseriaceae at that time also contained the strictly anaerobic Veillonella spp. (14, 19). The family Neisseriaceae now contains the genera Neisseria, Moraxella, Acinetobacter, and Kingella (14), which are differentiated from each other by cell morphology, oxidase and catalase reactions, the presence of carbonic anhydrase, the production of acid from glucose, the ability to reduce nitrite, the presence of thymidine phosphorylase, nucleoside deoxyribosyl transferase, and thymidine kinase, and the presence of true waxes in the cell wall (14). The genus Neisseria contains species that are isolated from humans and other animals. The human species have undergone few taxonomic changes. The most notable change in the taxonomy of the family has been a result of genetic studies. These led to the reassignment of N. catarrhalis to the genus Branhamella (25) and the inclusion of B. catarrhalis as a subgenus in the genus Moraxella (14, 15). Because subgenus and subspecific epithets are not used (90), strains of B. catarrhalis should correctly be called Moraxella catarrhalis. However, because B. catarrhalis is distinctly different from the Moraxella spp. in cell morphology and has recently been recognized as a pathogen (21, 27, 68), the name B. catarrhalis is commonly used, although no formal request has been made to have the name conserved taxonomically. Branhamella catarrhalisc Moraxella lacunata M. bovis M. nonliquefacians M. phenylpyruvica M. osloensis M. kingii M. "urethralis" M. atlantae Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Kingella kingae K. indologenes K. denitrificans 5th (1939) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes h N. caviae, N. cuniculi, and N. ovis were assigned to the subgenus Branhamella (15). 'N. lactamica was first listed in the 8th edition of Bergey's Manual as N. lactamicus, a species incertae sedis, and was listed as N. lactamica in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology in 1984 (95). J N. polysaccharea and N. gonorrhoeae subsp. kochii were described after the publication of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (95). N. polysaccharea was first named N. polysacchareae (82). N. kochii has characteristics of both N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. k The genus Veillonella was included in the family Neisseriaceae until 1974 (80), when it was assigned as the type genus in the family Veillonaceae.
