This is what i cud find-

"L.monocytogenes has become an increasingly imp. cause of meningitis in neonates...."

"N.meningitidis accounts for up to 60% of cases in children and young adults between the ages of 2 and 20"

Ref:harri 16th ed pg 2471,2472

so,I think answer shld be N.meningitidis.....

Any diff opinion?
