Etymology
Gr. n. <i>meninx meningos</i>, meninges, membrane covering the brain; Gr. adj. <i>septikos</i>, putrefactive; N.L. fem. adj. <i>meningoseptica</i>, apparently referring to association of the bacterium with both <i>meningitis</i> and <i>septicaemia</i>, but not septic meningitis as the name implies.
Ecology
Source
isolated from human clinical specimen. The type strain was isolated from spinal fluid, MA, USA.
Morphology
Cells are non-motile, non-spore-forming rods (0.5 × 1.0-2.0 µm). Colonies are white-yellow, non-pigmented, semi-translucent, circular and shiny with entire edges.
