| Neisseria iguanae |
Colonies on 5% sheep or horse blood agar are nonpigmented, round, transparent,
domed, about 1 mm in diameter after 72 h at 35 ºC. Temperature range for growth is
25-37 ºC. Aerobic. Alpha-haemolysis is produced.

Gram-negative cocci about 0.8 μm in diameter, arranged as diplococci and tetrads. Nonmotile. Endospores are not produced.
Isolated from iguanid lizards (Iguana iguana and Cyclura cornuta).
Associated with septicemia and abscesses in iguanid lizards. May be found in oral cavity of healthy lizards.
