Evolutionary changes in antimicrobial resistance of invasive Neisseria meningitidis isolates in Belgium from 2000 to 2010: increasing prevalence of penicillin nonsusceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

This study was conducted to evaluate the evolution of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis causing invasive diseases in Belgium in the period of January 2000 to December 2010. A total of 1,933 cases of N. meningitidis from invasive infections were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing at the Belgian Meningococcal Reference Centre.
