Metronidazole resistance in Bacteroides spp. carrying nim genes and the selection of slow-growing metronidazole-resistant mutants.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy - 1 Jul 2004

Gal Micaela, Brazier J S

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Human clinical isolates of Bacteroides spp. originating from patients in the UK were investigated for the presence of metronidazole resistance determinants (nim genes) and their presence was related to the MIC of metronidazole for the isolates. METHODS: Isolates were screened for susceptibility to a metronidazole disc and had their MIC determined by the Etest method. They were investigated for the...
