et que les négateurs de la transmission du Covid par aérosols déplorent "la hausse de l'usage des antibiotiques" ("experts" SF2H)...on n'a toujours pas de prévention adaptée 🤷‍♀️

Mais on nous expliquera que c'est "mild".

Formidable. Le site de l'OMS mentionnait la transmission de Neisseria meningitidis par aérosols.

Meningococcal Meningitis Meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia are caused by various serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) which is an aerobic Gram-negative encapsulated bacteria. At least 12 serotypes of meningococcus have been characterized by differences in the polysaccharide capsule, of which groups A, B and C account for about 90% of meningococcal disease. Recent outbreaks of group Y and W135 strains suggest that these serotypes are gaining in importance. N. meningitidis is one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in the world and the only bacterium capable of generating large epidemics of meningitis. Explosive epidemics with incidence rates of up to 1000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants have been reported, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Meningococcus is transmitted by aerosol or direct contact with respiratory secretions of patients or healthy human carriers. As a rule, endemic disease occurs primarily in children and adolescents, with highest attack rates in infants aged 3-12 months, whereas in epidemics older children and young adults may be more involved. Nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococci is most common among adolescents and young adults, less so among young children and relatively rare in adult populations. Transient nasopharyngeal carriage rather than disease is the normal outcome of meningococcal colonization. However, the rapid progression of meningococcal disease frequently results in death within 1-2 days after onset. 5-15% of children and young adults carry meningococci in the nose and throat, so chemoprophylaxis is of little value for the control of most endemic and epidemic disease. Immunization is the only rational approach to the control of meningococcal disease.
