Abstract
This book provides a comprehensive overview of bacterial meningitis, integrating its biological foundations, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, antimicrobial resistance, epidemiology, and prevention. It explains how bacterial pathogens colonize mucosal surfaces, invade the bloodstream, cross central nervous system barriers, and trigger severe meningeal inflammation. Major causative agents and conventional, molecular, and emerging diagnostic approaches are examined. Particular attention is given to antimicrobial therapy, resistance mechanisms, susceptibility testing, and stewardship. The book also explores the global and regional epidemiology of meningitis, with emphasis on Africa and North Africa, and discusses vaccination, surveillance, outbreak control, genomic epidemiology, digital technologies, and future strategies for precision prevention.
