    It's not much, but it's a start. I work in a hospital lab, but I just draw blood, so I'm not much help. Sorry!

    go onto your library's database or talk to a librarian in the science department or go online to your schools database if they have one.

    Gonorrhea Laboratory Information
    Neisseria sicca
    N. sicca (Diplococcus pharyngis siccus) was described in 1906 by von Lingelsheim. This species was also recognized by Elser and Huntoon (1909) and Gordon (1921). Because of the variability in acid production patterns observed in early studies, Wilson and Smith (1928) recommended that N. sicca be grouped with M. catarrhalis, N. subflava biovar flava, N. cinerea, and N. mucosa in the species Neisseria pharyngis.
