Children younger than 5 years accounted for more than a third of deaths (86 600 [53 300–149 000]). #Streptococcuspneumoniae, #Neisseriameningitidis, non-polio #enteroviruses
& other viruses were the leading causes of death, while non-polio enteroviruses caused the most cases.

U01.03.007 Encapsulated bacteria Encapsulated bacteria possess an outer polysaccharide capsule that protects them from phagocytosis, enhancing their virulence. Important examples include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Neisseria meningitidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Group B Streptococcus.
