Neisseria Species Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6185
The Neisseria Species Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the two clinically important Neisseria species and the diseases they cause.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the morphology, culture characteristics, and pathogenesis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Morphology | Gram-negative diplococci with a characteristic kidney bean or coffee bean shape |
| Neisseria gonorrhoeae | Causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection affecting the genital, rectal, and pharyngeal mucosa |
| Neisseria meningitidis | Causes meningococcal meningitis and meningococcemia, spread via respiratory droplets |
| Oxidase Test | Both species are oxidase-positive, a key diagnostic feature of the genus |
| Culture Requirements | Fastidious organisms typically cultured on chocolate agar or selective Thayer-Martin medium in a CO2-enriched atmosphere |
Key Features
- Illustrates Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis morphology and pathogenesis
