Meningitis caused by maltose-negative variant of Neisseria meningitidis
Abstract
A maltose-negative variant of Neisseria meningitidis, Slaterus Y, was recovered from a patient with meningitis. A report of the case is presented and the medical-legal significance of such an isolate is briefly discussed.
