Answer:
3 different bacteria which cause bacterial meningitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria Meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae
Explanation:
N. meningitidis is a gram-negative β proteobacterium and member of the bacterial family of Neisseriaceae. N. meningitidis is a fastidious bacterium, dying within hours on inanimate surfaces, and is either an encapsulated or unencapsulated, aerobic diplococcus with a “kidney” or “coffee-bean” shape.
Streptococcus pneumoniae are Gram-positive bacteria in the shape of a slightly pointed cocci. They are usually found in pairs (diplococci), but are also found singly and in short chains.
Haemophilus influenzae is a small (1 µm × 0.3 µm), pleomorphic, gram-negative coccobacillus. Some strains of H influenzae possess a polysaccharide capsule, and these strains are serotyped into 6 different types (a-f) based on their biochemically different capsules. The most virulent strain is H influenzae type b (Hib). Some H influenzae strains have no capsule and are termed nonencapsulated H influenzae or nontypeable H influenzae (NTHi).
