Abstract
Massive chemoprophylaxis in the age group with the highest incidence of the epidemic strain among carriers did not clearly modify the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates. However, a slight increase in the MIC50 and MIC90 was observed for rifampicin after the first chemoprophylactic intervention and for cefotaxime at the end of the study. Consecutive chemoprophylactic interventions with rifampicin and ciprofloxacin had an impact on the percentage of meningococcal carriers in the overall population, with a clearly decreasing trend.
