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