What Causes Bacterial Meningitis?

Several types of bacteria can cause meningitis. In neonates, Group B Streptococcus and Escherichia coli are common pathogens. In older infants and children, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are frequent culprits. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was once a common cause but is now rare in countries with widespread Hib vaccination.
