Proteomic analysis of metronidazole resistance in the human facultative pathogen Bacteroides fragilis
31 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
The anaerobic gut bacteria and opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis can cause life-threatening infections when leaving its niche and reaching body sites outside of the gut. The antimicrobial metronidazole is a mainstay in the treatment of anaerobic infections and also highly effective against Bacteroides spp. Although resistance rates have remained low in general, metronidazole resistance does occur in B....
