Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness studies (S1 nuclease method with DE-81 filters method) indicated that Neisseria gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, N. lactamica and "N. polysaccharea" form a single genospecies, in which four subspecies can be delineated. However, from a clinical and practical viewpoint, it seems desirable to maintain N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, N. lactamica and "N. polysaccharea" as separate species. N. cinerea is a valid species, closely related to N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, N. lactamica and "N. polysaccharea". These five species were O to 46% related to the other known species of the genus Neisseria.

Results demonstrate the feasibility of developing a system for auxotyping of clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae and show the meningococci were relatively homogeneous in their growth responses and were more competent biosynthetically than strains of the other species.

The assay of homo- and heteroduplexes with the S1 endonuclease permits an accurate, reproducible and rapid determination of polynucleotide sequence relationships and may be seriously considered as a method of choice for survey work and for investigations which require a large number of DNA-DNA hybridization assays.

Results suggest that N. ovis, N. caviae, and N. cuniculi may be significantly different from other neisseriae and from branhamellae to warrant their separation in a distinct genus.

Results indicated that the 13 strains isolated from the throats of healthy children in Europe and Africa belong to the genus Neisseria, in which they constitute one homogenous hybridization group, which belongs to the same genospecies as N. meningitidis.

Principal component analysis of published DNA-relatedness data showed the usefulness of this method in displaying relationships among closely related bacteria, and the level of ΔTm within groups and between groups should help decide whether these groups are genospecies.
