Question: what kind of antibiotics are used for neisseria meningitidis?
Answer: Meningococcal infections are usually treated with penicillin, ampicillin, or a combination of penicillin and chloramphenicol. Isolates of Neisseria meningitidis with increased levels of resistance to penicillin have been reported in the last few years, particularly from Spain and the United Kingdom (17, 20).
