Introduction

Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a member of the class, Betaproteobacteria. Neisseria are aerobic heterotrophic cocci and the cocci of Neisseria genus form diplococci [1]. Most members of the Neisseria genus are commensal organisms that colonize the nasal and oral mucosa of animals. 11 species of Neisseria colonize humans and only 2 are pathogens, Neiserria meningitidis, and Neiserria gonorrhoeae.
