negative cocci of the genus Neisseria. For example, Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the causative agents of meningitis and gonorrhea, respectively. Differentiating between these groups of cocci is easy. Neisseria are oxidase-positive, Gram-negative, kidney bean-shaped cells often found in pairs.
