FAMILY NEISSERIACEAE 



301 



Source : Isolated from feces of young 

 children. 



Habitat: Intestinal canal. Not com- 

 mon. 



Appendix I: Additional species have 

 been placed in this genus as given below. 

 Some are undoubtedly identical with 

 previously described species, while some 

 may belong in other genera. 



Diplococcus crassus von Lingelsheim. 

 {Diplococcus intracellular is Jaeger, 

 Ztsch. f. Hyg., 19, 1893, 353; Tetracoccus 

 intracellular is, ibid., 318; von Lingels- 

 heim, Ztschr. f. Hyg., 59, 1908, 467; 

 Micrococcus crassus Lehmann and Neu- 

 mann, Bakt. Diag., 7 Aufl., 2, 1927, 

 259.) Commonly found in nasopharyn- 

 geal secretions, also in the cerebrospinal 

 fluid of suspected cases of meningitis. 

 Also known as Jaeger's coccus or as 

 Jaegersher Modifikation der Meningo- 

 coccus. 



Diplococcris mucosus von Lingelsheim. 

 (von Lingelsheim, Klin. Jahrb., 15, 1906, 

 373, and Ztschr. f. Hyg., 59, 1908, 457; 

 Neisseria mucosa Murray, in Manual, 5th 

 ed., 1939, 283; not Streptococcus mucosus 

 Howard and Perkins, Jour. Med. Res., 

 6, (N.S. 1), 1901, 174; not Pneumococcus 

 mucosus Park and Williams, Jour. Exp. 

 Med., 7, 1905, 411.) From nasal secre- 

 tions. This Gram-negative coccus is said 

 to show similarity to the meningococcus 

 and to be like the diplococcus found bj' 

 Weichselbaum and Ghon (Weiner Klin. 

 Wchnschr., No. 24, 1905) in nasal secre- 

 tions of a healthy person. Clearly it is 

 different from the Gram-positive, mu- 

 coid type of pneumococcus which is de- 

 scribed by Binaghi (Cent. f. Bakt., I 

 Abt., 22, 1897, 273), Howard and Perkins 

 (Jour. Med. Res., 6, 1901, 174), Park and 

 Williams (Jour. Exp. Med., 7, 1905, 411) 

 and others. 



Micrococcus pharyngis cinereus von 

 Lingelsheim. (Klin. Jahrb., 15, 1906, 

 373 ; Micrococcus cinereus v. Lingelsheim, 

 Ztschr. f. Hyg., 59, 1908, 456; Neisseria 

 cinerea Murray, in Manual, 5th ed., 1939, 



283.) From mucous membrane of nose 

 and throat. 



Neisseria arthritica (Costa) Hauduroy 

 et al. {Micrococcus arthritica Costa, 

 Comp. rend. Soc. Biol., Paris, 85, 1920, 

 933; Hauduroy, Ehringer, Urbain, Guil- 

 lot and Magrou, Dictionnaire des Bac- 

 teries Pathogenes, Paris, 1937, 296.) 

 Isolated from a case of human arthritis. 



Neisseria edigtoni (sic) Trevisan. 

 {Diplococcus scarlatinae sanguinis Jamie - 

 son and Edington, Brit. Med. Jour., 1, 

 1887, 1265; Trevisan, I generi e le specie 

 delle Batteriacee, 1889, 32.) From a 

 scarlet fever patient. 



Neisseria fulva De Bord, (Jour. Bact., 

 38, 1939, 119; Iowa State Coll. Jour. Sci., 

 16, 1942, 471.) From conjunctivitis 

 and vaginitis. 



Neisseria gibbonsi Hauduroy et al. 

 (Gram -negative coccus, Gibbons, Jour. 

 Inf. Dis., 43, 1929, 289; Hauduroy et al., 

 Diet. d. Bact. Path., 1937, 300.) Iso- 

 lated from skin abscesses in rabbits and 

 guinea pigs. 



Neisseria gigantea De Bord. (Jour. 

 Bact., 38, 1939, 119; Iowa State Coll. 

 Jour. Sci., 16, 1942, 472.) From a normal 

 vagina. 



Neisseria luciliarum Brown. (Amer. 

 Mus. Novit., No. 251, 1927, 3.) A motile. 

 Gram-negative diplococcus that prob- 

 ably should be placed in the genus Mi- 

 crococcus. From a dead fly, Lucilia 

 sericata killed by Bacillus lutzae. 



Neisseria pseudocalarrhalis Huntoon. 

 (Jour. Bact., 27, 1934, 108.) Like A^ezs- 

 seria catarrhalis, shows no action on 

 carbohydrates but is culturally more like 

 Neisseria meningitidis and forms homo- 

 geneous suspensions in a salt solution. 

 From nasopharynx. 



Neisseria rebellis Trevisan. (Micro- 

 coccus in Trachoma folliculare, Kuchark- 

 sky, 1887; Trevisan, I generi e le specie 

 delle Batteriacee, Milan, 1889, 32.) 

 From trachoma. 



Neisseria venezuelensis Hauduroy et 

 al. (Riguez, Gaceta Med. de Caracas,
