Description

Neisseria mucosa, a species of non-pathogenic genus Neisseria which has generally been considered a resident of the nasopharyngeal region was isolated from an abscess of Bartholin's gland in an adult female in pure culture. The viable count was 1.8 × 107/ml. In a Gram-stained smear of the abscess puncture, many Gram-negative diplococci were observed within polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Therefore, Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection was suspected. The patient had been treated with Dibekacin and Cefaclor, and the MICs were DKB 1.56 and CCL 3.13 (μg/ml), respectively. This case was eventually diagnosed as an N. mucosa infection of an adult female with no basal disease, and is the first report of an abscess of Bartholin's gland caused by this organism.
