The 4 @who.int -defined preventable meningitis pathogens of interest (S #pneumoniae, N #meningitidis, #Haemophilusinfluenzae, and Group B streptococcus) contributed to 98 700 deaths (77 000–127 000) and 594 000 cases (514 000–686 000).

U01.03.007 Encapsulated bacteria Encapsulated bacteria possess an outer polysaccharide capsule that protects them from phagocytosis, enhancing their virulence. Important examples include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Neisseria meningitidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Group B Streptococcus.

Understand the role of capsules in bacterial virulence and immune evasion. #EncapsulatedBacteria #Microbiology #StreptococcusPneumoniae #HaemophilusInfluenzae #NeisseriaMeningitidis #Klebsiella #Pseudomonas #Salmonella #EColi #GroupBStreptococcus #USMLE #MedicalEducation #Pathogenesis #Immunology
