Answer: ENDOTOXIN

Explanation: Meningitis is a nervous system disorder that occurs when there is an infection and inflammation of the meninges,these meninges are the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord,they are the pia mater, dura mater,and the arachnoid mater.

This infection and inflammation of the meninges is causes by inversion of microorganism, bacteria precisely,when these bacteria that are gram negative invade the meninges,the cell wall of the bacteria dies off exposing the cellular contents, this exposure introduces a toxin known as LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE directly in to the meninges which disrupts the normal functioning of the meninges, infection further sets in and inflammation is triggered as well.
