Bacteriological culture for Neisseria is a microbiological study that allows you to detect various types of bacteria of the genus Neisseria. These bacteria can be both pathogenic and non-pathogenic. They are found in natural environments of the body, in particular in the oral cavity, nasopharynx and upper respiratory tract.

The genus Neisseria includes pathogenic species:

• Neisseria gonorrhoeae - the causative agent of gonorrhea.
• Neisseria meningitidis - the causative agent of meningococcal infection.

There are also non-pathogenic species that can be part of the normal microflora, for example:

• Neisseria subflava
• Neisseria mucosa
• Neisseria sicca and others.
