Meningitis is an infection that causes swelling of the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord, so it can be a devastating illness. One of the most significant bacteria to cause this infection is Neisseria meningitidis. This germ kills 10-15 of every 100 people who contract the infection, and of the survivors, 10-20 of those 100 will be left with disabilities. That is why prevention is the key.
