[edit] Relationship to immunology
Neisseria are the only known bacteria which are suspectible to the membrane attack complex (MAC) of the complement system (part of the innate immune response). People deficient in the MAC are very prone to Neisseria infections.
[edit] Phylogeny
Where would neisseria belong on the LUCA/Neomura Classification? Ought we to include this new classification system on the side? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.137.25 (talk) 08:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
