The Effects of Bacterial Meningitis on the Brain Abstract Meningitis is an infection of the subarachnoid space (located between the middle arachnid matter and the inner pia mater) of the meninges‚ which is the thin layer of tissues that line the brain and the spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid flows through the subarachnoid space and the meninges‚ providing cushion for the brain and the spinal cord‚ and filling the internal spaces within the brain. There are 2 main types of meningitis

Coccus is a term used to describe a type of morphology that helps us distinguish different kinds of bacteria. The cell’s morphology is only one of the many ways we can differentiate the different species. Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium
