Β-Lactamase–Producing, Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Neisseria meningitidis Isolated From a 5-Month-Old Boy in the United States. (3rd August 2020) - Taormina, Gillian
Abstract: Worldwide, there have been few reports of β-lactamases causing penicillin resistance in Neisseria meningitidis . The first known case of disease in the United States due to a β-lactamase-producing, ciprofloxacin-resistant N. meningitidis was recently identified. This has potential implications on standard laboratory testing and empiric management of meningococcal disease.
