Cefotaxime-Resistant Neisseria meningitidis Sequence Type 4821 Causing Fulminant Meningitis

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We explored the role of commensal Neisseria in the emergence of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant N. meningitidis. Cefotaxime resistance–conferring penA795 was prevalent among commensal Neisseria isolates in Shanghai, China, and was acquired by a
