[Action of chemotherapeutics upon Neisseria meningitidis (author's transl)]. 1976

D Janovská, and V Burian, and P Kuzemenská

During the period 1970-1973 (1st half), 281 strains of Neisseria meningitidis from carriers and 35 from patients were tested for their sensitivity to a wide spectrum of chemotherapeutics. From the results of the tests for sensitivity in vitro, the conclusion is drawn that ampicillin, carbenicillin, and rifamycin SV may be considered as having a good action upon Neisseria meningitidis. The preparations of intermediate efficacy include penicillin, cephaloridine, chloramphenicol, and tetracyclin. As to sulphonamides, the presence of resistant strains was established. This phenomenon was rare when sulphonamide had been combined with trimetoprim.

D009345	Neisseria meningitidis	A species of gram-negative, aerobic BACTERIA. It is a commensal and pathogen only of humans, and can be carried asymptomatically in the NASOPHARYNX. When found in cerebrospinal fluid it is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis (MENINGITIS, MENINGOCOCCAL). It is also found in venereal discharges and blood. There are at least 13 serogroups based on antigenic differences in the capsular polysaccharides; the ones causing most meningitis infections being A, B, C, Y, and W-135. Each serogroup can be further classified by serotype, serosubtype, and immunotype.

It is potentiated by SULFONAMIDES and the TRIMETHOPRIM, SULFAMETHOXAZOLE DRUG COMBINATION is the form most often used. It is sometimes used alone as an antimalarial. TRIMETHOPRIM RESISTANCE has been reported.	Proloprim,Trimpex
