Introduction

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

Introduce the topic of your paper. What is your research question? What experiments have addressed your question? Applications for medicine and/or environment?
Sample citations: [2]
[3]
A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a back slash.[2]
Invasive Behavior
Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.
Every point of information REQUIRES CITATION using the citation tool shown above.
Signs and Symptoms
Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.
Treatment and Prevention
Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.
