Bacteria: Fermenting & Neisseria
Which Neisseria Ferments What ?
Maltose, Glucose and Sucrose fermentation is a common assessment criteria to identify and differentiate between bacterial populations !
Here's a good way to remember this for Nisseria spp.
N. MeninGitidiS has letters M, G and S in it's spelling - Ferments ALL three sugars - Maltose, Glucose and Sucrose ,
whereas N. Gonorrhoea only has G - Ferments only Glucose !
