  • Title: [Course of ampicillin sensitivity in Haemophilus influenzae responsible for purulent meningitis in children. Therapeutic consequences].
    Author: Joly C, Bouillie C, Hummel M, Lionsquy G.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1983 May; 31(5):304-7. PubMed ID: 6312391.
    Abstract:
    Bacterial meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae observed from 1976 to 1980 (10 cases) are compared with those observed in 1981 (9 cases). From 1976 to 1980, 9 strains (90%) are ampicillin-sensitive. In 1981, 5 strains (55,5%) are ampicillin-sensitive and 4 strains (45,5%) are ampicillin-resistant and betalactamase positive. These 9 strains are serotype b. Therefore, since 1981, initial treatment of bacterial meningitis in infancy is a new cephalosporin, in this study is cefotaxime.
