Infectious Agent

The Microoganisms
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Haemophilus influenzae
  • Neisseria meningitidis
Comapred to the shape of a kidney (bean shape) and about the size of a millimeter. Spreads by repiratory droplets and if infected can develop symptoms in 3-7 days. These microoganisms are anaerobic.
