Isolation of Neisseria lactamica from the female genital tract. A case report

W A Telfer Brunton et al. Br J Vener Dis. 1980 Oct.

Abstract

Neisseria lactamica was isolated from the genital tract of a young patient with a persistent vaginal discharge. Although infection with N lactamica occurs very rarely, the importance of complete biochemical identification of neisseriae is emphasised in view of the serious social and medicolegal consequences which could result from a misdiagnosis of gonorrhoea.
