If the child is not vaccinated than H.Influenza is also added to the list.

S. Pneumonia is also most common in elderly :idea:

Thanks mjl.
so,it means strep. penumoniae is also among first choice for a newborn with meningitis.
they say that H.influenza seen commonly from 1-5 yrs age group,
N. meningitis is common from 5 to 40 yrs age.

No, you were correct
newborn (up to 6months) -Group b Strep and E.coli
kids-Strep Pneumonia and Neisseria
6-60years -Neisseria and enterovirus
[an infant is considered 1year and under]
:shock:
