Susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis strains from the civilian population to sulfadiazine, penicillin, and rifampin.
The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of sulfadiazine, penicillin, and rifampin for meningococcal strains isolated from civilians during 1970 were compared. The strains were isolated from various sources and geographical areas and represented several serogroups. The ranges of MIC values were as follows: 0.05 to 20 mg/100 ml for sulfadiazine, 0.01 to 0.4 mug/ml for penicillin, and 0....
متن کاملEpitope specificities of the group Y and W-135 polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis.
Previous studies have identified the length dependency of several polysaccharide (PS) protective epitopes. We have investigated whether meningococcal polysaccharides Y and W-135 possess such epitopes. Oligosaccharides (OSs) consisting of one or more disaccharide repeating units (RU) were derived from the capsular PSs of group Y and W-135 meningococci (GYMP and GWMP, respectively) by mild acid h...
متن کاملComparison of susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis
When prevalence of meningococcal disease is increased contacts of cases may require chemoprophylaxis, and sodium sulphadiazine is the drug of choice. However, increasing numbers of meningococci are resistant to sulphonamides (Fallon, 1975, 1977) andmany alternative chemoprophylactic agents are ineffectual. Sodium fusidate is active against a few strains of meningococci in vitro (Barber and Wate...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis.
Sir, Reduced susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis to penicillin (MICs 0.12 mg/L) in the UK was reported by Jones & Sutcliffe in 1990 to be at a level of 3%, comparable to that found in 1987. We have recently undertaken an in vitro study to investigate the susceptibility of meningococci from our collection of strains, to a variety of antimicrobial agents, including penicillin, using BSAC met...
متن کاملSerogroups and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from army recruits in a training camp.
Invasive Neisseria meningitidis infection is rare but carries a high mortality rate. The carriage rate in the normal population is around 10% and can be higher in confined populations. A study on the prevalence of carriage of N. meningitidis was conducted among 3195 army recruits after 2 months of intensive training in an army camp. N. meningitidis was isolated from 37.0% of these recruits. Two...
