Neissera Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are acquired by sexual contact and usually affect the mucous membranes of the urethra in males and the endocervix and urethra in females, although the infection may disseminate to a variety of tissues. The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, is identical in its staining and morphological characteristics to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Neisseria meningitidis is usually cultivated in a peptone-blood base medium in a moist chamber containing 5-10% CO All media must be warmed to 37 degrees prior to inoculation as the organism is extremely susceptible to temperatures above or below 37 degrees. textbookofbacteriology.net /neisseria.html   (5666 words)

Neisseria meningitidis The interactions of Neisseria meningitidis with cells of the leptomeninges are pivotal events in the progression of bacterial leptomeningitis. Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus), an exclusive pathogen of humans, is the cause of sepsis (meningococcemia) and meningitis, often in otherwise healthy individuals.

NEISSERIA Neisseria meningitidis is the etiologic agent for bacterial meningitis. Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome is associated with meningococcemia; it is commonly diagnosed at autopsy and is characterized by bilateral cortical necrosis of the adrenal glands. Gonorrhea is highly transmissable due to the short incubation period for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the high rate of asymptomatic carriers (usually female), and the increasing antibiotic resistances for the genus as a whole. web.indstate.edu /thcme/micro/neiss.html   (743 words)

Fortunately, none of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as things like the common cold or the flu, and they are not spread by casual contact or by simply breathing the air where a person with meningitis has been. People in the same household or day-care center, or anyone with direct contact with a patient's oral secretions (such as a boyfriend or girlfriend) would be considered at increased risk of acquiring the infection. www.cdc.gov /ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/meningococcal_g.htm   (1046 words)
