This pathogenic bacterium is one of the causative agents of diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, gonorrhea.

In men this disease is manifested by sharp pains when urinating, serous-purulent secretions, painful nocturnal erections, swelling of the glans penis. In women, gonorrhea is manifested by purulent discharge, breach of urination. Gonorrhea is one of the most pathogenic pathogens of this species.

This diplococci in a smear reminiscent of a pair of coffee beans facing each other concave surface. These bacteria are immobile, gram-negative not form spores, are non-permanent capsule. Factor of pathogenicity of this bacterium is the toxin, the amount of which depends on the severity of the disease.

Meningococci in the external environment are unstable and very sensitive to cooling and drying. They are sensitive to tetracyclines, penicillins, erythromycin. Have resistance to sulfamides and ristomycin. Sensitive solutions: a 0.2% chlorine, 1% phenol, 1% chloramine. Nasopharynx – the path of infection in the body. Some people with this bacterium in the nasopharynx, not sick, but are carriers. There are two forms of this infection: generalised (meningitis, meningoencephalitis) and localized (nasopharyngitis). The incubation period is 1-10 days. Bacteria from the nasopharynx to enter the bloodstream (meningococcemia) and then the defeat of the mucous membranes and meninges, accompanied by fever, hemorrhagic rash, inflammation of the meninges. In a generalized form of the disease the immune system persistent, intense. Specific prophylaxis is carried out by vaccination, and nonspecific - observance of sanitary-antiepidemic regime.
