Which of the following statements is/are true concerning bacterial meningitis? (Mark all true statements)
A. The three common forms of bacterial meningitis all have capsules that contribute to their pathogenicity (ability to cause disease).
B. A diagnosis of bacterial meningitis requires a sample of cerebrospinal fluid obtained by spinal tap (lumbar puncture).
Fortunately, all of the three common forms of bacterial meningitis respond readily to penicillin treatment.
Bacterial meningitis is life-threatening and develops rapidly. Therefore antibiotic therapy is begun immediately when cases are suspected, followed by identification of the pathogen.
The three common forms of bacterial meningitis are all best prevented by available immunizations.
