Here are the answers (from #1MCC to #3 cause) according to UW:
1. Newborn GBS, Listeria, S. pneumo
2. 1mo - 2 yrs S. pneumo, Nisseria, GBS
3. 2-18 yrs Neisseria, S.pneumo, H. influ
4. Adult S. pneumo -(they didn't mention other causes)
As I remember from Step 1FA, they said for babies (not sure if that means newborns as well as infants) the MCC were in order: GBS, E. coli, Listeria...
Any other comments or additions from other sources would be greatly appreciated.
