The Neisseria species are Gram-negative cocci that usually occur in pairs (diplococci). Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococci) and Neisseria meningitidis (meningococci) are exclusively pathogenic for humans and typically are found associated with or inside polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). Many other Neisseria species are normal inhabitants of the human respiratory tract, rarely if ever cause disease, and occur extracellularly. Members of the group are listed in Table 20-1.
