Isolation of Metronidazole-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Carrying the nimA Nitroreductase Gene from a Patient in Washington State

1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are among the most common anaerobic bacterial isolates in clinical specimens. Metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole, is often used as empirical therapy for anaerobic infections. Susceptibility testing is not routinely performed because of nearly universal susceptibility of Bacteroides spp. to this agent. We report a case of metronidazole-resistant Bacteroides fragilis in the...
