Haemophilus influenzae et resistance au antibiotiques: a propos de 25 cas de meningite

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we studied the resistance of haemophilus influenzae to the antibiotics by the production of Beta-lactamase. Among the 25 isolated strains from cephalorachidic liquid of newborn babies suffering from purulent meningitis, three are resistant to the ampicilline by producing Beta-lactamase. One of the three samples shows a multiresistance. It is particularly resistant to the chloramphenicol. In the lignt of these results and a review of the litterature, a therapeutic conduct of the H. influenze meningitis is proposed
