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.
The bacteria then travel through the bloodstream to the brain. Viral Meningitis. Viral meningitis is more common than the bacterial form and generally -- but not always -- less serious. It can be triggered by a number of viruses, including several that can cause diarrhea.People with viral meningitis are much less likely to have permanent brain damage after the infection resolves.eningitis is almost always caused by a bacterial or viral infection that began elsewhere in the body, such as in the ears, sinuses, or upper respiratory tract. Less common causes of meningitis include fungal infection, autoimmune disorders, and medications.
