The endotoxin of the meningococcus [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1937 1. The view is advanced that the endotoxin of the meningococcus is one of a group of thermostable intracellular bacterial poisons, and that it is not a specific antigenic toxin. 2. The inability of the “endotoxin” to function as an antigen does not lessen its importance as a pathogenic factor in cerebrospinal fever, since the lesions that are ...

An Anomalous Meningococcus [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1918 (1) An unusual strain of meningococcus has been isolated which produces minute “dew drop” colonies. This character has persisted throughout a large number of successive generations. Every culture, however, has shown lateral off-shoots consisting of colonies which have the size and appearance of those of typical meningococci.

Conquering the Meningococcus [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2007 Since the first outbreaks of meningococcal meningitis were first described in Geneva in 1804 and in New England in 1806, and since the discovery of the causative agent by Weichselbaum in 1887 and the beginning of epidemics of meningococcal meningitis in the sub-Saharan Africa approximately 100 years ago, Neisseria meningitidis has been recognized as ...
