- Invasive meningococcal isolates in South Africa have shown a consistent presence of serogroups B, C, W, and Y between 2016-2021, with an intermediate penicillin resistance rate of 16%.
- A total of 585 invasive meningococcal disease cases were monitored, with phenotypic and genomic analyses revealing key serogroups and clonal complexes.
- The increased penicillin intermediate resistance was linked to specific penA gene mosaics, indicating a concerning rise in antibiotic resistance among these bacteria compared to prior years.
