Neisseria subflava is a common inhabitant found in the human upper respiratory tract.

It produces a positive result of blue when put through the oxidase test.

It is considered non-pathogenic, although in rare case it can be the causative agent of postoperative meningitis (after a neurological surgery), which is called surgical site infection (SSI).
