Both are isolated from similar infections, including endocervical and rectal infections, neonatal conjunctivitis, and lymphadenitis.N. cinerea has even been isolated on gonococcal selective media specifically made to isolate N. gonorrhoeae. (wikipedia.org)
One important difference between N. cinerea and N. gonorrhoeae is that N. cinerea is slightly more pigmented and exhibits a golden-brown rather than a pinkish-brown pigmentation. (wikipedia.org)
Neisseria cinerea can produce acid from glucose like N. gonorrhoeae, but it will then oxidize the acid to carbon dioxide. (wikipedia.org)
In addition, N. cinerea will react in coagglutination serologic tests and, like N. gonorrhoeae, it produces the enzyme hydroxyprolylaminopeptidase.N. cinerea does not reduce nitrate, but it does reduce nitrite. (wikipedia.org)
N. cinerea does not react with antigonococcal protein I monoclonal antibodies and does not produce immunoglobulin A protease, unlike N. gonorrhoeae. (wikipedia.org)
Also unlike N. gonorrhoeae, N. cinerea is not resistant to the antibiotic colistin, and it can grow on Mueller-Hinton agar and trypticase soy agar. (wikipedia.org)

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) is the etiologic agent of gonorrhea, still one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the U.S. Untreated infections in women can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a significant cause of infertility in this country. (rochester.edu)

BackgroundEpidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection remains inadequately understood.AimWe aimed to characterise NG epidemiology in Europe.MethodsWe used Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines to systematically review, report, synthesise and analyse NG prevalence data from 1949 to 30 September 2021.

Neisseria meningitidis ( N.meningitidis ) bacteria belonging to clonal complex 4821 (CC4821) have been mainly reported in China and have been characterized by a high resistance rate to ciprofloxacin (CIP). (biomedcentral.com)
The complete sequence of gyrA gene from 77 strains are reported in this study and analyzed in the context of publicly available sequences from N. meningitidis of other CCs as well as other Neisseria species. (biomedcentral.com)
Recombination within N.meningitidis strains and between Neisseria species was identified in SimPlot analysis. (biomedcentral.com)
Bacterial meningitis can be caused by several types of bacteria including Streptococcus pneumonia or Neisseria meningitidis ( N.meningitidis ). (biomedcentral.com)
Species4
Neisseria cinerea is a commensal species grouped with the Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, and catalase-positive diplococci. (wikipedia.org)
Consultation with an expert is necessary before using NAAT to minimize the possibility of cross-reaction with nongonococcal Neisseria species and other commensals (e.g. (cdc.gov)
Several of the 20 species of Neisseria in HOMD are common members of the normal oral microflora. (ehomd.org)
Catarrhalis1
Neisseria cinerea has been formerly classified as many other organisms, including Moraxella catarrhalis and Neisseria pseudocatarrhalis. (wikipedia.org)
Genus1
Bacteria of the genus Neisseria are abundant in the mouth, making up 2-10% of the bacteria at most oral sites. (ehomd.org)
Subflava biovar1
Three of the isolates have been identified as Neisseria subflava biovar perflava and one as Neisseria cinerea . (nih.gov)
This investigation is the first to investigate these systems in either the non-pathogenic or pathogenic Neisseria spp. (nih.gov)
Moraxella1
Neisseria cinerea has been formerly classified as many other organisms, including Moraxella catarrhalis and Neisseria pseudocatarrhalis. (wikipedia.org)
Commensal2
Virulence genes and previously unexplored gene clusters in four commensal Neisseria spp. (nih.gov)
Specific gene clusters have been identified within these commensal isolate genome sequences that are believed to encode a Type VI Secretion System, a newly identified CRISPR system, a Type IV Secretion System unlike that in other Neisseria spp. (nih.gov)
Exhibits1
Because Neisseria cinerea exhibits the same reaction pattern, the Superoxyl test must be added. (medscape.com)
Infections2
Neisseria cinerea is classified as a nonpathogenic bacterium, but has been isolated from numerous infections including acute meningitis. (wikipedia.org)
A few infections which could possibly be caused by N. cinerea have been reported. (wikipedia.org)
