Maltose-negative Neisseria meningitidis isolated from a case of male urethritis

E A Phillips et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

A maltose-negative strain of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from a male patient with urethritis was initially identified as a gonococcus on the basis of carbohydrate utilization tests. Additional investigations initiated because of atypical colony morphology and a negative superoxol reaction showed the isolate to be a meningococcus with defective maltose-phosphorylating capacity.
