    MICROBIOLOGY

    • Gram-negative diplococcus, oxidase and catalase positive.
      • Grows best on blood agar medium or chocolate medium (blood heated at 176-194o F).
        • Has a loose capsule and pili. Antigenic variation of pili can be used for epidemiological characterization.
        • Strains with nutrient requirements for arginine, hypoxanthine or uracil are more likely to cause asymptomatic infection.
    • Infects surfaces lined with columnar epithelial cells: endocervix, urethra, anogenital and oropharyngeal mucous membranes, conjunctiva.
    • Always considered pathogenic when identified.
