QUÉ SIGNIFICA MENINGOCOCCUS EN INGLÉS

Neisseria meningitidis

Neisseria meningitidis

Neisseria meningitidis, a menudo denominada meningococo, es una bacteria que puede causar meningitis y otras formas de enfermedad meningocócica como la meningococcemia, una sepsis potencialmente mortal. N. meningitidis es una de las principales causas de enfermedad y muerte durante la infancia en los países industrializados y ha sido responsable de epidemias en África y Asia. Las bacterias son redondas y se suelen unir en parejas. Son Gram-negativos ya que tienen membranas externas e internas con una fina capa de peptidoglicano en el medio. Los cultivos de las bacterias resultan positivos para la enzima citocromo c oxidasa. Existe como flora normal en la nasofaringe de hasta el 5-15% de los adultos. Provoca la única forma de meningitis bacteriana conocida por ocurrir epidémicamente. Streptococcus pneumoniae es la causa bacteriana más común de meningitis en niños mayores de 2 meses de edad. El meningococo sólo se sabe que infecta a los seres humanos y nunca ha sido aislado de otros animales; Esto se cree que proviene de la incapacidad de la bacteria para obtener hierro que no sea de fuentes humanas.

Neisseria meningitidis, often referred to as meningococcus, is a bacterium that can cause meningitis and other forms of meningococcal disease such as meningococcemia, a life-threatening sepsis. N. meningitidis is a major cause of illness and death during childhood in industrialized countries and has been responsible for epidemics in Africa and in Asia. The bacteria are round and are often joined in pairs. They are Gram-negative since they have outer and inner membranes with a thin layer of peptidoglycan in between. Cultures of the bacteria test positive for the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. It exists as normal flora in the nasopharynx of up to 5–15% of adults. It causes the only form of bacterial meningitis known to occur epidemically. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial cause of meningitis in children beyond 2 months of age. Meningococci is only known to infect humans and has never been isolated from other animals; this is thought to stem from the bacterium's inability to get iron other than from human sources.
