Nitroimidazole resistance genes (nimB) in anaerobic Gram-positive cocci (previously Peptostreptococcus spp.)

24 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To investigate metronidazole resistance and the prevalence of nitroimidazole (nim) genes in clinically isolated anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. METHODS: Metronidazole susceptibility was determined in 99 strains of anaerobic Gram-positive cocci and PCR amplification for the nim gene carried out on 61 strains (metronidazole MIC > or =0.5 mg/L). RESULTS: The nimB gene was detected in 34% (21/61) of the...
