∙ 15y agoAlthough there are many pathogens which cause meningitis there are really only two types, bacteria and viruses. Meningitis is a disease of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. There are at least FOUR bacterial pathogens including
the influenza bacillus (Haemophilus influenzae), meningococcus (Neisseria meningitidis) and strains of pneumococci, streptococci, or staphylococci. You can also get viral meningitis (caused by a virus). This is usually not as serious. One common form is caused by the common cold virus and is usually cured when you get over the cold.
