neisseria meningitidis

Preferred Label : neisseria meningitidis;

MeSH definition : A species of gram-negative, aerobic BACTERIA. It is a commensal and pathogen only of humans, and can be carried asymptomatically in the NASOPHARYNX. When found in cerebrospinal fluid it is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis (MENINGITIS, MENINGOCOCCAL). It is also found in venereal discharges and blood. There are at least 13 serogroups based on antigenic differences in the capsular polysaccharides; the ones causing most meningitis infections being A, B, C, Y, and W-135. Each serogroup can be further classified by serotype, serosubtype, and immunotype.;

MeSH synonym : meningococcus; Neisseria weichselbaumii; Diplokokkus intracellularis meningitidis; Micrococcus meningitidis; Micrococcus intracellularis; Micrococcus meningitidis cerebrospinalis;

MeSH annotation : specific serogroups are also available; infection: probably MENINGITIS, MENINGOCOCCAL or, if not meningitis, MENINGOCOCCAL INFECTIONS;
