This is what the bacteria looks like.
Because the bacteria affects the regions around the brain and spinal cord, it is related to the Central Nervous System. It is transmitted through close contact with infected individuals, for example, kissing, sneezing or coughing on someone, living in close quarters, or sharing eating/drinking utensils. The bacteria is then typically carried in the throat, overwhelms the body’s immune system and is then able to infect the blood stream and therefore the brain. It is unknown why this is able to happen.
