Answer-A- Neisseria meningitides
Neisseria meningitides often referred to as meningococcus, is a Gram-negative bacterium that can cause meningitis and other forms of meningococcal disease such as meningococcemia, life-threatening sepsis.
N.meningitidis is a gram-negative β proteobacterium and member of the bacterial family of Neisseriaceae.
N. meningitidis is a fastidious bacteria, dying within hours on inanimate surfaces, and is either an encapsulated or unencapsulated, aerobic diplococcus with a “kidney” or “coffee-bean” shape.
