Neisseria meningitidis: biology, microbiology, and epidemiology.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2012

Rouphael Nadine G, Stephens David S

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children and young adults worldwide through epidemic or sporadic meningitis and/or septicemia. In this review, we describe the biology, microbiology, and epidemiology of this exclusive human pathogen. N.meningitidis is a fastidious, encapsulated, aerobic gram-negative diplococcus. Colonies are positive by the oxidase test and...
