Recent IMD cases caused by a dual resistant serogroup Y suggest changing antimicrobial resistance patterns in the United States. The emerging dual resistance is due to acquisition of ciprofloxacin resistance by β-lactamase-containing N. meningitidis. Routine antimicrobial resistance surveillance will effectively monitor resistance changes and spread.
