Susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis to 16 antimicrobial agents and characterization of resistance mechanisms affecting some agents.
The study identified resistance mechanisms in Neisseria meningitidis, including penA gene polymorphisms associated with penicillin and ampicillin resistance, catP gene-mediated chloramphenicol resistance, folP gene mutations linked to sulfisoxazole and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance, tet(B) efflux pump contributing to tetracycline resistance, and rpoB gene mutations causing rifampin resistance. Additionally, gyrA mutations were associated with reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility.
