The most common causes of bacterial meningitis can be the result of infection by three very different bacteria. which bacteria are they and how are these microbes similar to each other?

3 different bacteria which cause bacterial meningitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria Meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae

Explanation:

N. meningitidis is a gram-negative β proteobacterium and member of the bacterial family of Neisseriaceae. N. meningitidis is a fastidious bacterium, dying within hours on inanimate surfaces, and is either an encapsulated or unencapsulated, aerobic diplococcus with a “kidney” or “coffee-bean” shape.

Streptococcus pneumoniae are Gram-positive bacteria in the shape of a slightly pointed cocci. They are usually found in pairs (diplococci), but are also found singly and in short chains.

Haemophilus influenzae is a small (1 µm × 0.3 µm), pleomorphic, gram-negative coccobacillus. Some strains of H influenzae possess a polysaccharide capsule, and these strains are serotyped into 6 different types (a-f) based on their biochemically different capsules. The most virulent strain is H influenzae type b (Hib). Some H influenzae strains have no capsule and are termed nonencapsulated H influenzae or nontypeable H influenzae (NTHi).

the earth is thought to have been formed about 4.6 billion years ago by collisions from a cloud of hydrogen, helium, rock, ice and other materials. these were pulled together by gravity to form objects in and around earth like- asteroids and small early planets called planetesimals.

so, the best possible answer to this question will be option d- to harden materials to form different parts of earth’s layers

the correct answers are;

a. the rock was made from more than one type of material.

e. layers of hot liquids in the rock cooled and solidified at different temperatures.

these are the two options that are related to the statement given above.
