Most people who get bacterial meningitis get it from one of two types of bacteria: 1  Streptococcus pneumoniae. 2  This is a common type of bacteria that causes a number of illnesses besides meningitis, such as ear and sinus infections and pneumonia.
Meningitis can also be caused by the spread of an infection occurring near the brain, such as from the ears or the sinuses. It is also an occasional complication of brain, head, or neck surgery. The average age for meningitis is 25 years, and meningitis affects both men and women equally.
