Furazolidone- and Nitrofurantoin-Resistant Helicobacter pylori : Prevalence and Role of Genes Involved in Metronidazole Resistance
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of furazolidone, nitrofurantoin, and metronidazole resistance among Helicobacter pylori strains was assessed with 431 clinical isolates. Fifty-two percent were metronidazole resistant, compared to 2% (7 of 431) with resistance to furazolidone and nitrofurantoin. All seven furazolidone- and nitrofurantoin-resistant isolates were also metronidazole resistant. rdxA, frxA, and fdxB knockouts did not...
