Neisseria meningitidis are bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease, a very severe form of meningitis and/or blood infection. About 15% of people carry these bacteria in their throats without getting sick. In rare cases, however, the bacteria pass through the throat lining and infect the meninges and/or blood.here are vaccines that can prevent meningococcal meningitis. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) can also cause meningitis. In the past, Hib was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis. There is a vaccine that stops infants and young children from getting this kind of meningitis.
