Overview
The causative agent for bacterial meningitis varies according to age group. Common causative agents for bacterial meningitis may include Group B Streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Causes
Causes by Age group

| Infants and children | Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Group B Streptococcus |
| Adolescents and Young Adults | Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae |
| Older adults | Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Group B Streptococcus, Listeria monocytogenes |
