The causative organisms of bacterial meningitis and their antimicrobial resistance profiles in Iranian children in 2011-2016.

CONCLUSION: Results of this study provide important information about the antibiotic resistance profiles of the etiologic agents of childhood meningitis, which can be used for prescription of more effective empirical therapies. Regarding the variable nature of causative agents of bacterial meningitis and their antibiotic resistance patterns, continuous updating of information on the most common pathogens responsible for meningitis in children and their drug resistance patterns in each region is highly recommended.
