Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, or Haemophilus influenzae (2010–24): a systematic review and meta-analysis
Key Points
Antimicrobial resistance has increased, affecting treatment options for bacterial meningitis cases.
The analysis included data spanning from 2010 to 2024, highlighting evolving resistance trends across pathogens.
Systematic review and meta-analysis techniques were used to aggregate findings from multiple studies on antibiotic resistance.
This study may guide future practices and policies in managing bacterial meningitis due to rising resistance patterns.
