Description:Gram-negative meningococcal bacterium. Causes life-threatening invasive bacterial infections especially in young infants. Opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the nasopharynges and oropharynges of asymptomatic carriers, they occasionally gain access to the blood and to the cerebrospinal fluid to cause meningitis and septicemia.

Strains from serogroup A are responsible for major epidemics and pandemics of meningococcal disease.

Properties:Number of membranes : 2
