Abstract
A Neisseria strain, Neisseria sp. AH-N10, was isolated from liver of a Chinese Peking duck and characterized using a number of phenotypic and genotypic approaches. Based on scanning electron microscopy examination, the isolated strain has the typical structure of Neisseria species. Sequence comparison of 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis suggest that Neisseria sp. AH-N10 is closely related to Neisseria canis, which was previously isolated from a human dog bite wound. Animal infection experiments demonstrated that the isolated Neisseria sp. AH-N10 is pathogenic in ducks and mice. The pathogenicity to humans and evolutional origin of this Neisseria strain should be further investigated.
