Abstract: •<i>Neisseria lactamica</i>was recovered from the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of a 7-month-old girl with acute purulent meningitis. The isolate was identified initially as<i>N meningitidis</i>. However, additional biochemical testing at the Center for Disease Control showed that the organism fermented lactose and produced βD-galactosidase, thereby confirming its identity as<i>N lactamica</i>.
