Bacteria and viruses are the two main causes of meningitis. The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also called meningococcus, causes meningococcal meningitis. In children and teens, meningococcus is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis. In adults, it is the second most common cause. Meningococcal bacteria may cause infection in a part of the body -- the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or respiratory tract, for instance.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges (the covering of the brain and spinal cord). Meningitis can be caused by infection from viruses and bacteria (germs).These germs usually cause everyday illness, such as an ear infection or pneumonia.eisseria meningitidis are bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease, a very severe form of meningitis and/or blood infection. About 15% of people carry these bacteria in their throats without getting sick. In rare cases, however, the bacteria pass through the throat lining and infect the meninges and/or blood.
