Septicemia due to a maltose-positive, glucose-negative strain of group C Neisseria meningitidis.
A glucose-negative, maltose-positive strain of group C Neisseria meningitidis was isolated from the blood of a 63-year-old man. Interestingly, maltose degradation was detected by radiometric methods but not by growth methods.
