A rod-shaped, saccharolytic strain of Neisseria isolated from the throat of a patient with pharyngitis and considered to represent a new subspecies of Neisseria elongata is described. The strain differs from N. elongata subsp. elongata in producing acid from glucose, in giving a strong catalase reaction, and in the consistency of colonies on agar media. The name N. elongata subsp. glycolytica is proposed for the new subspecies, of which strain 6171/75 (= ATCC 29315 = NCTC 11050) is the type.
