my prof. notes and wiki says it is GRAM NEGATIVE DIPLOCOCCI. That makes 2 medically imp. gram negative diplococci.

But, FA 2009 and CMMRS says there is only one GRAM NEGATIVE DIPLOCOCCI i.e. NEISSERIA G



looks like FA 2009 and CMMRS 4th ed. has error in it.

Neiseria is the MOST COMMON gram-diplococci and probably the most important one to know.

Morexalla as well as actinebacter are also both gram-diplococci.

Doesn't CMMRS cover N meningitidis as well? I'm envisioning that picture of the two cocci sitting around the table with one looking at pictures of naked women and the other one shaking while trying to drink coffee...

Yup. I think the OP probably just meant Neisseria in general (both G and M).
