Neisseria Gonorrhea
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a species of Gram-negative bacteria
responsible for the disease gonorrhoea. Neisseria species of bacteria
are highly fastidious gram-negative cocci, that is, they require special
nutrients to survive. These cocci typically appear in pairs (diplococci).
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease. Symptoms include a
purulent (or pus-like) discharge from the genitals which may be foul
smelling, a burning sensation during urination and conjunctivitis
commonly in neonatal infection, also occasionally in adults.
