A new species of the genus Neisseria is proposed, Neisseria dentiae sp. nov. The organism is found in dental plaque of domestic cows. It resembles N. animalis, N. canis and N. iguanae phenotypically but is distinguished from the first two by being positive for acidification of gluconate, D-glucose and usually D-fructose, and from the third by lack of predominant tetrad arrangement, lack of distinct alpha-haemolysis and by growing on nutrient agar and usually acidifying D-fructose. It is suggested that it may have significance for dental microbiology because members of the genus rapidly utilize oxygen and this may contribute to the anaerobic microenvironment found in dental plaque.
提议将奈瑟菌属的一个新物种命名为齿奈瑟菌（Neisseria dentiae sp. nov.）。该生物体存在于家牛的牙菌斑中。它在表型上类似于动物奈瑟菌（N. animalis）、犬奈瑟菌（N. canis）和鬣蜥奈瑟菌（N. iguanae），但与前两者的区别在于对葡萄糖酸盐、D - 葡萄糖以及通常对D - 果糖的酸化呈阳性，与第三者的区别在于缺乏主要的四联排列、缺乏明显的α - 溶血，且能在营养琼脂上生长并通常能使D - 果糖酸化。有人认为它可能对牙科微生物学具有重要意义，因为该属成员能迅速利用氧气，这可能有助于牙菌斑中发现的厌氧微环境。
