Abstract excerpt
The susceptibility of 136 Escherichia coli isolates from cases of neonatal meningitis to amoxycillin, ceftriaxone, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin was determined in relation to the carriage of virulence factors and phylogenetic group. Only amoxycillin and nalidixic acid resistance was observed (40% and 3%, respectively). Nalidixic acid resistance alone was associated with non-virulent phylogenetic...
