Clostridium perfringens Type A Isolates of Animal Origin with Decreased Susceptibility to Metronidazole Show Extensive Genetic Diversity.

Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.) - 1 Dec 2017

Álvarez-Pérez Sergio, Blanco José L, García Marta E

Abstract excerpt

Metronidazole (MTZ) is a first-line drug for the treatment of human infections caused by anaerobic bacteria. Although most Clostridium perfringens isolates are susceptible to metronidazole, a number of strains with decreased susceptibility have been obtained in clinical and environmental surveys. However, little is known yet about the toxinotype and genetic diversity of metronidazole-resistant C. perfringens...
