Abstract
A reclassification of the Neisseriaceae is proposed, involving: inclusion of Moraxella as a genus of Neisseriaceae; transfer of Neisseria catarrhalis, N. ovis and N. caviae to Moraxella or creation of a new genus for these species; unification of the species N. flava, N. perflava and N. subflava under the name N. subflava; unification of the species Moraxella lacunata and M. liquefaciens under the name M. lacunata; and exclusion of the genera Veillonella and Gemella from Neisseriaceae. The relationships of the organisms Acinetobacter ani-tratus and A. lwoffi to the Neisseriaceae are not sufficiently clarified to suggest the inclusion of these organisms in Neisseriaceae. Until this is studied in more detail, the genus Acinetobacter appears to be suitable.
