چکیده
The significance Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of determination for Meningococci is described and according to the present study a shift in the sensitivity of Meningococcus is occurring, local isolates show higher Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for Chloramphenicol and Azactam. Strains of Meningococcus can successfully be stored in a domestic freezer.

Determination of CEM-101 activity tested against clinical isolates of Neisseria meningitidis from a worldwide collection.
The activity of CEM-101, a fluoroketolide, was compared to those of 11 other antimicrobial agents using the reference broth microdilution method tested against 103 Neisseria meningitidis strains, including ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible isolates with confirmed gyrA (T91I) mutations. Among the tested isolates, 79.6% were serogroup B or C and all isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone, azithromyc...
متن کاملIdentification of Neisseria Meningitidis in Patients with Suspected Meningitis: a Study in Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah City, Iran, 2013
Background & Aims: Neisseria meningitidis is bacteria fastidious, and the main causes of meningitis and acute sepsis. Appropriate treatment depends on accurate and timely diagnosis. This study aimed to identify Neisseria meningitidis infection in samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with suspected meningitis. Methods: In this study, 198 samples of cerebrospinal fluid of patients wit...
متن کاملIn Silico Studies of Outer Membrane of Neisseria Meningitidis PorA: Its Expression and Immunogenic Properties
Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N.meningitidis serogroup B. The Class 1 Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) has been named porA which is a cation selective transmembrane protein of 45 KDa that forms trimeric pore in the meningococcal outer membrane. PorA from ser...
متن کاملDecreased susceptibility to penicillin G and Tet M plasmids in genital and anorectal isolates of Neisseria meningitidis.
Genital and anorectal isolates of Neisseria meningitidis were characterized, and their antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined. Twelve of 43 isolates demonstrated moderate susceptibility to penicillin G (MIC range, 0.125 to 0.5 microgram/ml). Two isolates were resistant to tetracycline (MIC, > or = 8 micrograms/ml) and contained plasmids of 25.2 MDa.
متن کاملPackaged identification systems and bacteria of veterinary origin.
Thirdly, this isolate was more resistant to spectinomycin than what is generally experienced with N. gonorrhoeae cultures. Our laboratory tests approximately 3,500 N. gonorrhoeae cultures annually, and the MIC of spectinomycin is higher for N. meningitidis than for N. gonorrhoeae (3). It is of particular interest that a second similar microorganism has been isolated in Canada from a female geni...
