    • Clinical isolates of Neisseria meningitidis resistant to rifampicin are important to identify asthey lead to failure of chemoprophylaxis of meningococcal disease. However, theidentification of these isolates is hindered by the absence of a harmonized breakpoint despiteefforts of standardization. In the present study, a large number (n=352) of clinical N.meningitidis isolates from 12 mainly European countries and spanning over 25 years (1984 to2009) were examined. The collection comprised all clinical isolates with MIC 0.25 mg/lreceived by the national reference laboratories for meningococci in the participating countries(n=161). In addition, representative isolates displaying MIC of rifampicin <0.25 mg/l wereexamined (n=191). Phenotyping and genotyping of isolates were performed and a 660 bpDNA fragment of the rpoB gene was sequenced in all the included isolates. Sequencesdiffering by at least one nucleotide were defined as a unique rpoB allele (n=55). Geometricmeans of MIC were calculated for isolates displaying the same allele. All the clinical isolatesdisplaying MIC >1 mg/l of rifampicin possessed rpoB alleles with critical mutations (in total21 alleles), resulting in substitutions at the codon H552 and less frequently at nearby codons(S548 and S557). These alterations were absent in the alleles (n=34) found in all isolates withMIC 1 mg/l. Based on these findings, rifampicin susceptible isolates could be defined asthose with MIC 1 mg/l. A new web site was created based on the data from this work (http://neisseria.org/nm/typing/rpoB). The rifampicin resistant isolates belonged to diversegenetic lineages and provoked lower bacteremia levels in mice. This biological cost mayexplain the non-expansion of the rifampicin resistant isolates.
